OGT DAILY Day Two Hundred and Forty One ROSES

I have become aware of a regular practice carried out by the staff of the 9/11 Memorial Museum in lower Manhattan.   They receive white roses each day donated by a local florist and these are placed at the name of each person listed on the memorial who would have had a birthday that day.   Volunteers request to have this job because of what it means to family members who come by the memorial on such anniversaries.   There are plenty of places where donations of money are needed today (Houston, Florida, the Caribbean, etc...) but you might consider a small donation to support the rose at the 9/11 Memorial.

Preserving humanity through such small actions preserves us all.  It reminds us that these were human beings still loved by their families as are all victims of war and violence.
