I've been sitting here thinking of a way to commemorate what happened on September 11th last year.
In Denmark some people have a tradition to put lit candle in the windows on the night it was announced that World War 2 was over. Back in 1945 people did it to celebrate that the black out curtains weren’t going to be needed any more. In fact many people yanked the curtains out, and burned them on a big bonfire in the streets.
So I’ve been thinking I’ll be lighting a light for all those people that were killed on that day last year, to honor their memory.
Have you planned to do something special?
