The Day America Cried
SEPTEMBER 11th

The United States of America suffered a blow when four commercial airlines were hijacked and used as weapons of mass destruction.  Two of the planes were speared into each of the World Trade Center towers starting a cataclysmic devastation of the entire complex.  One plane slammed into the Pentagon collapsing a portion of the outer ring.  The fourth crashed into rural Pennsylvania most probably veered from its original course by the heroic actions of the passengers onboard causing the plane to crash instead of risk more lives.  There were 266 people onboard those 4 planes who lost their lives, 188 lives lost in the Pentagon and at this writing, and 190 confirmed dead in New York with 4,957 unaccounted for. All of America and the world has spent a week glued to the television in a state of SHOCK, FEAR, INSECURITY, RAGE, DISBELIEF, GRIEF and more as we watched knowing that life as we knew changed around 8:48 AM that Tuesday morning. Through the television and the Internet, we have shared our thoughts and prayers as we went through these emotions and we bonded and became more united than I can ever recall feeling before.

The red, white and blue has become a common site these days, selling out in many stores in many states.

We fly our flags in our grief...
We fly it for our heroes...

We fly our flags in our pride...

BUT...

We don't fly it alone!
