Yesterday I was driving on Reservation road at rush hour. I saw a woman sitting on a chair holding an American flag in one hand and a hand painted sign before her face, with her other hand.

The sign said "remember 911".

Traffic was heavy and the image went by quickly. I thought of her during the rest of my drive wondering what her story was.

This morning at 6am I heard the distant shouts of soldiers running in formation and then at 7, taps played.
