If he produced this on summer vacation, then it is the first real memorial! The World Trade Center has the beams of light and some othe rvery temporary stuff that went up immediately and there's a temporary one in PA as well. But I am happy to say (though it is a bittersweet happiness) that the Pentagon Memorial was dedicated this year on September 11th. Thanks to the families of victims for driving that through until they got it done! It's good to see your kids remember... I just wish more adults would! I had to work all morning to get our flag half-staffed at work... not because anyone was opposed to it, but just that no one thought of it!

Mike, this is amazing, kids are amazing, but this is also upsetting. Now that's art! (I'm not one to talk, I caught my darlings playing surgery yesterday. I walked in and Henry was resting in bed comfortably while Maggie was taking various dolls to visit "daddy" in the hospital.) Catharsis is alive and well in the Andersen/Bub families. 7 years and your son makes the first real memorial. Mike, this is amazing, kids are amazing, but this is also upsetting. Now that’s art!
