Fly the Flag Campaign

[SunQuest]

I just received this and thought that it was an important reminder of all those that we lost on 9-11.

Fly the Flag Campaign
Please join us in this FLY THE FLAG campaign and PLEASE forward this email

immediately to everyone in your address book asking them to also forward

it. We have a little less than one week and counting to get the word out

all across this great land and into every community in the United States of

America. If you forward this email to least 11 people and each of those

people do the same...you get the idea.

THE PROGRAM IS THIS:

On Tuesday, September 11th, 2007, an American flag should be displayed

outside every home, apartment, office, and store in the United States.

Every individual should make it their duty to display an American flag on

this sixth anniversary of our country's worst tragedy. We do this in honor

of 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.

Action Plan: So, here's what we need you to do...

(1) Forward this email to everyone you know (at least 11 people). Please

don't be the one to break this chain. Take a moment to think back to how

you felt on 9/11 and let those sentiments guide you.

(2) Fly an American flag of any size on 9/11. Honestly, Americans should

fly the flag year-round, but if you don't, then at least make it a priority

on this day.

Thank you for your participation. God Bless You and God Bless America

Great reminder. People do easily forget as we go about our busy lives.

We are having a Service Appreciation at the Veterans Memorial in Rochester, MN., from 5 to 8 with a candle light service at 8 pm. Should be awesome. All first responders, troops, veterans etc., are invited to attend.

I will remember BUT I will also remember that not everyone who died in that awful tragedy was American.

It will be the Union Flag I shall fly, and I shall do so with pride, just as Canadians will fly theirs.

Absolutely. We are not honoring just Americans. We are honoring everyone. Good point you made.

I've had mine up since Labor Day ....... it will most likely stay up until the end of September . But thanks for the reminder . It's so hard to believe it's been 6 years ... feels like it was just yesterday .

Fizz you're right , not only Americans died that awful day , but it happened here in America , it was an attack against America , it was an attack against FREEDOM . I seriously doubt the terrorists stopped to consider that not all people in that building were Americans.

We have one flying every day so we will add two more on the eleventh. If we had one for the other countries we would fly them too, our flag pole is an old street light pole so it is really tall and strong. We have an American flag a Marine Corps flag and a POW-MIA flag on it at all times with a light to illuminate it at night.
