Today on Daybreak, Tony Arranaga was out at the Healing
Field at Tempe Beach Park.
This, of course, being the 7th year since the 9-11
terrorist attacks.
If you haven't
been to the Healing Field - this is something I would gently, and yet strongly,
recommend. There is such beauty in what those volunteers did: setting up nearly
3,000 American flags, each one with a card attached showcasing a victim.
Walking through
the display yesterday after work, I happened to come across a card showing a man
who died. He was my age. He was a mailroom worker. He was just one of
thousands, I know, who lost their lives. Yet, I imagine... to someone... he was
everything.
Perhaps he was a dad. A brother. A best
friend.
We can be very
thankful that on this day, we've not had to report anything like we did on
September 11, 2001. I hope we never do.
