Centre Daily Times photo by Michelle BixbyYesterday, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to photograph the Flight 93 Memorial services. I, and some other photographer friends of mine, came across this young boy with such a serious and somewhat haunting disposition. He is 9-year-old, Tyler Artman of Natrona Heights, and was only 2 years old when 9/11 occurred. He can still recall the planes crashing into the 2 towers. September 11th was such a horrific event that it dramatically impacted an innocent 2-year-old enough to still haunt him seven years later. It gives me chills.

Some people attending the memorial service began chanting his name as if it were a political rally, which I thought was disrespectful to the families and friends of the Flight 93 victims, because the purpose of September 11th is to honor the heroes, not to rally for a presidential nominee.

Oh absolutely! What a load of crap that they start pushing their politics at a moment like that! How did McCain respond.
Nice photo of the boy, nicely toned too. Do you really think he actually remembers it from the age of 2?
I'm going to have to blog about why flight 93 was shot down...
