Remembering to say Thank You

by Terri Watkins

Everything is a little different this year. That is something we are all at least trying to get used to. The places we would go and the things we would do sometimes seem out of reach. But it is also the time of year when we remember. It is the anniversary of 9-11. The day we felt a little less safe. It is training for the National Memorial Marathon, The Run to Remember.

I am curious what we are remembering. What I remember is a state and a nation that stood together. We call it the Oklahoma Standard. Where I heard it for the first time was when the search and rescue teams across the country were leaving. Governor Keating met them to shake their hand and tell them thank you. One of the crew members showed the Governor a dollar saying it was his Oklahoma dollar. He had it when he came here and he has the same dollar when he left. He wanted for nothing while he was here. We banded together to insure that the Oklahomans and those from around the world who came to help felt that they were appreciated and respected. READ MORE
