Next Monday

I received this via email yesterday and plan on flying my flag.

On Monday, September 11th, 2006, 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 fifth 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.

Thanks George!

I copied your message and forwarded it to friends and family. "Let's not forget" ... I wish you well/Melek

I put mine up for Independence Day and never took it down.

Good one George, I've sent it on. We proudly fly ours everyday.

I put up a flag shortly after 9/11 (they were hard to find for a while, remember?) at home and one of those cling flags in the car window and they are both still there.

I'd like to see the big flags put up again at the Pentagon and Ground Zero, too.
