9/11 is coming

9/11 is near. I would sure like to be able to look up and down the streets of the USA and see red white and blue flags flying on as many homes and businesses as possible.

Let everyone know that we have not forgotten.

I'm going to fly the flag from my brother's burial circa 1968.

I have flown mine in since that fateful day. Not only for those that were lost.

unfortunantly, i have no place to fly mine.
i do have an American flag decal on my back truck window. And that was there long before 9/11, because i have always felt that as American's we need to support our country and all the members of our Armed Forces, and civil services (police, fire, EMT, etc), past, present, and future, whether they are at home or abroad, in times of peace, as well as times of war.

If it works for you, think about putting one in a window on right on your front door.

ive also got a larger flag decal on my front window of my house (also pre-9/11). im considering hanging my flag on my garage door for the day as well, but like i said, while memorials are important, true patriatism is what you do on every other day of the year.

You got that right buddy, but I would like 9/11 to be a statement by Americans, every year.

Mine flys every day. I might get a new one to put up on 9-11.

BTW, This year, 9-11 falls on the same day of the week that it did when it happened.

Exactly right. I fly my flag not only in honor of those lost, those who served, those who currently serve, but also for the rights and freedoms this country was founded on. As more and more of those rights and freedoms are stripped away in the name of "security", it seems I fly the flag almost in protest as much as a tribute.

Just becuase you fly a flag doesn't mean a dang thing. Why don't you put your money where your mouth is.


Yeah and I know I'm going to get flamed for saying it how it is.

I totally agree with the first sentence, don't fully understand the second sentence.

saw the buildings come down standing on karney ave in nj that day, will never forget it.

im not much of a flag flier, and probably wont,

it was tough that day standing next to my 87 year old grandmother who has alzhiemers, trying to explain to her why we have scumbags doing what they were doing.

Flying the flag of the nation that was attacked is great

Last year I asked how American's can honor the lives of people from other countries that were killed that day as well.

I got neg rep from two people because they interpreted my "Light a candle for the day" suggestion was offensive toward American's.


9/11 is another day I fly the Stars & Stripes to observe the sad day of an attack on the USA.
