They remembered the pain and sorrow felt across America for those who were in the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and aboard the planes that were hijacked by terrorists. Last week, on Wednesday morning, Sept. 11, parents and students of Warm Springs El ementary gathered around the American flag, as it was raised and lowered to half mass. School principal Dawn Smith spoke to the children and par ents about the tragedy that hap pened a year ago to the day. The children watched and lis tened carefully as the remem brance was relived through her voice. At exacdy 8:46 a.m. the chil dren shared a moment of si lence. That moment one year ago was the beginning of the ter rorist attack. The World Trade Center, and the Pentagon were hit by hi jacked aircrafts, and the flight that went down in Shanktown, Pennsylvania. After the moment of silence, the distant church bells began to ring down the hill from the school, at the Warm Springs Shaker Church. Across the canyon at the Warm Springs Health and Wellness Center, two commis sioned officers were honored for their active participation in responding to this tragedy. Commissioned officers Donna Strong, RN, and RpH Mark Strong were presented a United States Public Health Ser vice award, and a certificate of appreciation award from the federal and the New York state emergency management offices.
