OK, I stopped and visited the Arizona War Memorials and the 9/11 memorial today.
Why “I’ll be home for dinner Tuesday night” was the one quote that really stood out and reminded me of that day and how we all take it for granted. Here is a picture of walking up to the site.
All of the inscriptions are listed below (and some pictures)
WHY?
“I’LL BE HOME FOR DINNER TUESDAY NIGHT.”
