Tribute to the victims of 9/11

, , , ,

St. Louis's tribute to the victims of 9/11 in Forest Park on Art Hill in front of the St. Louis Art Museum. One flag for each person lost, complete with photo, name, and age. Simple yet incredibly powerful. I love this tribute because it's silent. Not music or speeches to interfere with the thoughts in my head as I took it all in. And kept taking it all in. So many people gone in such a short time. Out of sheer hatred and insanity. A monumentally large and senseless loss.
