The National 9/11 Flag - Hartford, CT

June 14, 2011

Hartford, CT

Destroyed in the aftermath of the collapse of the World Trade Center on September 11 and stitched back together seven years later by tornado survivors in Greensburg, Kansas, The National 9/11 Flag is a living testament to the resilience and compassion of the American people.  It is the modern day version of The Star Spangled Banner.

The National 9/11 Flag is on a journey across America where local service heroes in all 50 states will be given the historic privilege of stitching the flag back to its original 13-stripe format.  Once the flag is made whole again by the 10th Year Anniversary of 9/11, The National 9/11 Flag will become part of the permanent collection of the National September 11 Memorial Museeum being built at the World Trade Center. 

Please tell us about a local service hero in your community who deserves the honor of stitching The National 9/11 Flag when it comes to the state of Connecticut on June 14 at Connecticut's Old State House, 800 Main Street in Hartford at 9:00am followed by stitching open to the public until 12:00pm.  For directions, visit http://www.ctoldstatehouse.org/ or call 800-522-6766.

Osama bin Laden Dead - Justice Prevails!

Osama bin Laden was killed during a firefight that took place overnight Monday at a compound in Pakistan.  Along with Osama bin Laden,  several other members of the compound were killed including one of his sons.  His body was removed from the site and eventually buried at sea within 24 hours of his death. 

The capture of this man should bring some peace to all the victims of 9/11 and the other terrorist plots he commanded.
