Commemorating September 11

[Dawne]

We only have a few days before it is 9/11/09.

On Friday, September 11th, 2009, it would be great if an American flag
is displayed
outside every home, apartment, office, and store in the United States.
This marks the eighth anniversary of one of our country's worst
tragedies.

We can do this to honor those who lost their lives on 9/11, their
families,
friends and loved ones who continue to endure the pain, and those who
today are fighting at home and abroad to preserve our cherished
freedoms.

In the days, weeks and months following 9/11, our country was bathed
in American flags as citizens mourned the incredible losses and stood
shoulder-to-shoulder against terrorism. Sadly, those flags have all
but disappeared. Our patriotism pulled us through some tough times and
it shouldn't take another attack to galvanize us in solidarity. Our
American flag is the fabric of our country and together we can prevail
over terrorism of all kinds.
