One of the moments really pressed into my memory was seeing that U.S. flag being raised in the rubble of the Twin Towers. Kind of reminded me of the Marines raising the flag at Iwo Jima. A moment of pride in an otherwise dismal time.
And, speaking of other famous photos, I see that Thursday, the girl who was so well-kissed in Times Square on V-J Day in 1945, died this past Thursday. I will write more about her tomorrow.
The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
