Warm Springs residents reflect on 91 1
By Selena Boise

Like Americans nationwide,
people of Warm Springs last
week paid tribute to those who
lost their lives in the tragedy of
Sept. 11, 2001.
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.
Tribute goes out to the men
and women of the United States
Armed Forces, who continue
serving duty in the Middle East
and elsewhere overseas.

happy and make you feel good
about yourself. And have a
great time!"
