Coop, thanks for the ping. Before I opened up FR tonight, I was unwrapping a large flag and pole I bought expressly for my own kind of memorial - I am planning to stand on the town green and wave that flag all alone.
Maybe the people driving by will not automatically think "boy, look at that nut", but wish they could pull over and join me.
I knew people killed that day in the towers and others who just happened not to be there. I know one survivor who made it down the stairs. I wish I could have been there myself to help. I will never forget, and like you all, never forgive.
When you are standing there with that flag bitt, remember we Freepers will be with you in thought.
Thank you for sharing your experience and kudos to you for waving that flag!!!
If you're talking about doing this on 9/11, I don't think too many people will consider you a nut. I bet you'll be pleased at the positive response you receive. Best wishes!
