In Remembrance

Please remember to fly your flag today.
Congress has designated September 11 as PATRIOT DAY......a discretionary day of remembrance in honor of those who lost their lives on 9/11.
The President issued a proclamation calling upon government officials and all people of the USA to observe the day by displaying the flag at half-staff.
Most people cannot fly a flag at half-staff at home, so an accepted alternative is to attach a black ribbon or streamer, the same width as a stripe on the flag and the same length as the flag itself, to the top of the flag.
A moment of silence should be observed at 8:46 AM EDT for those who died.
