Please fly the Flag!

Please join in the FLY THE FLAG campaign.
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 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

You are supposed to bring it in at night and when it is bad weather, an American flag shouldn't get wet. And it should never touch the ground.

Wow, all those years as a Girl Scout paid off.

Ours will be out, we are an FDNY familyChat Icon

Though it can be left out at night if there is a light on it.

Yes, I agree with flying the flag.

It's a HUGE pet peeve of mine when it is not flown properly... it's so disrespectful to all who have come before us... who served our country in every capacity. There are actually federal laws governing the proper flying of the flag.
