i just hung the stars and stripes from our balcony here in metro nyc.
being a new yorker, september 11, 2001 and dec 7, 1941 are linked in my mind.
on dec 8, 1941, my dad-then 20yrs young-went down to whitehall hall street and enlisted.
70 years is a very long time.
our friends were our enemies.
our enemies are now our friends.
where shall we be in another 70 years?
i hope someone will then hang the flag off their balcony.
i hope its my children.
ymmv
be well
