Living in a foreign land, I was not exposed to such tacky incidents surrounding the anniversary of the horible tragedy in NY, DC, & PA as those related by Mudpoet .
Last night we attended a very simple and dignified ceremony at out quasi-embassy otherwise known as ATI (American Taiwan Institute).
We heard comments by the head guy there, had a flag raising ceremony, President Bush’s letter was read, we had a minute of silence, and then sang the Star Spangled Banner. We blew out our candles and were dismissed. Very appropriate.
Very appropriate indeed
