Some brought flowers, small flags, notes etc. The flags didn't have individual names on them so I don't know how people picked out where they would leave these tokens as they experienced their own memories and grief. For anyone who has ever shed a few tears at THE WALL (the Viet Nam Veterans memorial in Washington DC) or during the changing of the guard at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington, VA, this display is every bit as moving in its sheer power to remind those who come of just how deeply we all experienced the cowardly attack on innocent civilians in our own homeland.
