In January of this year, Kitch and I received a wonderful e-mail from Joanne Galvin. It read in part: "I am writing after finishing the 3rd episode of your videos (Changed Forever) that you have put together. All of them once again brought back so many memories of 9/11. I am very impressed with all that you have done."
Less than a month later we finalized plans for Mrs. Galvin to visit Windsor Park to present the 9/11National Remembrance Flag to the Wyoming Valley.
 On July 27, we met Joanne Galvin and several members of her family and a close personal friend. It was an unusually stormy July afternoon, and the rain and thunderstorms prevented us from accepting the flag here in the garden. The awful weather did not prevent us from accepting the flag in a beautiful ceremony at College Misericordia.
Kitch and I are pleased to present that very special moment when Joanne Galvin faced a standing room only crowd in the Kennedy room of the Banks Student Center. Behind her Flight 93 Ambassadors Chuck and Jayne Wagner as well as Chivon, Doug and Adam MacMillan held the flag for all to see.
It was a moment Kitch and I had been waiting for. It was a moment we had been dreaming about, and it was a moment that lived up to every expectation we had.
We hope you enjoy this magic moment from The Irish Teachers Festival 2007, a moment that will touch your heart in very special ways, a moment that will document why we must never forget.
