Display the American Flag on September 11, 2009 in honor of 9/11

Received the following e-mail this morning and thought we would pass it on to our readers ...
We have a little less than one month and counting to get the word out
all across this great land and into every community in the United States of
America .


If you forward this email to least 11 people
and each of
those people do the same ... you get the idea.


THE PROGRAM:

On Friday, September 11th, 2009, 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 eighth
anniversary of one of our country's worst tragedies. We do this to honor
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.


So, here's what we need you to do .

(1) Forward this email to everyone you know (at least 11 people). 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!


We have a lot of challenges today. In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, our community is trying to rebound from the worst natural disaster in the City's history. Some have called it the 5Th worst natural disaster in U.S. history. The Economy has been very weak locally, nationally and worldwide.
