Around the LA Observed blogs this emotional weekend, Ellen Alperstein remembers "tiny, telling moments in the days immediately after 9/11 when we were raw and struggling with how we felt and how we were supposed to feel." pepperdine-flags.jpgAlso at Native Intelligence, new contributor John Schwada thinks about the difference between ten years after Pearl Harbor and today, when "we can't move on because our nation's leaders want us to stay invested in a war-footing." And Veronique de Turenne stops by the memorial of American flags displayed on the Pepperdine University lawn overlooking the Pacific.
