I realize it's a rainy day and you're not supposed to fly the flag in the rain, without sufficient lighting, but if you own a flag, please remember to display it in rememberance of those who lost their lives seven years ago today.
They're not very big, but I have 2 flags on my front lawn. For those that I knew & the thousands of others that I didn't who were lost that day, may they R.I.P.
Also, keep in your prayers the MANY 1st responders who are sick & dying from their exposure to post-9/11 recovery & clean-up.
Please, let's not forget this day--fly those flags--we are united!! We will be strong and we will always respect those who lost their lives on this day seven years ago! Rain or no rain my flag will be flying today!
I love the sight of an American flag just as much as the next guy, but there are plenty of other things we can all do to remember 9/11, or just to be better Americans.....volunteer, give to charity, VOTE, write a letter to your local gov on an issue you feel strongly about but haven't done anything about, help out in your local community, help a complete stranger in need, turn off the TV and read, spend time with your kids or family, anything to help America be a better America. That is what anyone lost on 9/11 would want us to do, learn and build. I love America and will never forget 9/11.
Oh, and y'all can stop giving us damn yankees a hard time just for one day, aight? Thank you.
omg omg omg look at your time stamp in post number 2
Okay - now I have cold chills.
Yes, I am flying my flag. For some reason, this year the anniversary has hit me harder than it did the past few years. Maybe b/c it is an election year.
God bless all those who have suffered in any way b/c of the tragedy that occurred on this date 7 years ago.

This is NOT something that only affected us Northerners!
The terrible events of that day impacted the ENTIRE country.
I hope that's not what you meant?

no, not even close to what I meant. I'm well aware of who was impacted by the event.
