| My Las Vegas View of the Statue of Liberty |
We Will Never Forget
Every time I drive down the Las Vegas Strip,
past our version of the Statue of Liberty at New York New York Hotel,
I
think of
every early immigrant who has gone before and sacrificed for
us,
every branch of the military who has fought for our freedom,
every
brave firefighter
and
police officer that look out for us
and
all of the
innocent lives that were tragically lost on 9-11.
We will never forget!
What are your memories?

Lovely post, Wendy.
ReplyDeleteI remember visiting Vegas in February 2002 and walking with the kids around the NYNY Hotel & Casino and seeing all the firemen, police officer t-shirts around. Of course, now it's all encased in glass, but then it was out in the open and lots of people left flowers, etc.
Thank you Brandie. I remember all of that well!
DeleteA very nice post, Wendy.
ReplyDeleteMy memories of 9-11 was disbelieve. How could anybody do this to our country. I was amazed in how we all came together as one. I remember going to Las Vegas and seeing the huge memorial in front of the NYNY Hotel.
Thanks David. I remember that too.
DeleteShock! We had just left there a week earlier taking tons of pictures of that very building that was hit. Couldn't believe it as it was happening. It's weird to see it now and it's transformation. Always good to remember so you can look forward :-)
ReplyDeleteGood tip Lala! Yes it was shocking indeed! Thanks.
