9/11 Never Forget Memorial Wrap Up

Hello Everyone!
I just wanted to show you some pictures of our 9/11 Never Forget Memorial. We had a great turnout.
We had 15 volunteers who came at 6:30 AM to help us set up. It took us two hours to put all 2,977 flags into the ground. (It took ten minutes to pick them up.) Our main visitors were Moms with elementary aged children explaining to their children what the flags represented and why they were there. We also had a Mom that was a Red Cross volunteer. She said that her job was to call the victims families and tell them what had happened. In the end, the memorial helped many people remember, which was the goal. Thanks to the sponsors, parents, and the volunteers who helped make it possible.
Here are some pictures:
