Every year Orlando, Florida remembers 9/11 by giving a Ceremony of Remembrance and planting 2975 flags in Lake Eola Park. Each flag has the name of one of the victims who died in September 2001. At the end of the ceremony the audience will be encouraged to pick a flag and take home with them. Gil and Anna Kunster live in Orlando. They sent me a message that this year the flag which they picked was with the name of our son, Waleed Joseph Iskandar. They also sent me a photo of the flag. Here is its photo:  Thank you Gil and Anna. September 14, 2011 |
I received a message from Mrs. Michele Hilliard telling me of what happened to her on Sunday September 11 after she attended the Sunday mass at St. John Eudes church in Chatsworth. After his Homily, the priest mentioned that there are two baskets at the exits of the church, full with bracelets with the names of all those who died on 9/11. He encouraged the parishioners to pick a bracelet and pray for the name written on it. The barcelet that Mrs. Hilliard picked was yours. Now you have a new friend who will remember you and pray for you. Thank you Michele for writing me. You made my day. September 19, 2011 |
