I've been wearing a pin that shows the pentagon with a black ribbon wrapped around it. I wear it to mourn two folks I knew that worked in the Pentagon finance area - which was "ground zero" at the Pentagon.
There will be a ceremony where I work tomorrow at 1:00 PM. I've worn that pin for a year. But, tomorrow, I'll take that pin off - - the year of mourning is over - - and I'll demand we start kicking some serious @$$ !!!
Those are valid expressions....apppropriate and fitting for the particular circumstances!
Leaving soon for the milkshake...
Will bring back a bunch to share with everyone.;^))
