How can Americans best remember the events of 9-11-01 on it's anniversary? What did Americans do right after those catastrophic events in communities across the U.S.? Strangers gathered in public places, including many highway overpasses and bridges waving flags and banners of unity and pride. No government agency sanctioned those events and no one was told to be patriotic. What better wayt to pay tribute to those who died than to capture that same spirit of 9/11, what some have called grassroots patriotism.

In that tradition the LAFAYETTE FLAG BRIGADE of Lafayette, CA. will be remembering 9/11 with an OVERPASS RALLY at the El Curtola Bridge on Thursday 9-11-03.

Schedule of Events:

MORNING OBSERVANCES at these overpasses from 5:30-8:00 a.m.-------

1. San Ramon: Hwy 680/Alcosta Blvd exit overpass. 2. Pleasant Hill: Hwy 680/Oak Park exit overpass. 3. Lafayette: Hwy 24/El Curtola Bridge(Pleasant Hill Rd. exit) 4. Orinda: Hwy 24/St. Stephens exit overpass. 5. Martinez: Hwy 680/Glazier Dr. (Morello exit) Bring flag and flashlight.

AFTERNOON TRIBUTE from 3:00 - 8:00 p.m., El Curtola Bridge Lafayette (Pleasant Hill Rd. exit to Old Tunnel Rd. to top of overpass) Patriotic music; largest flag display in Northern California; Blue Star Moms and Operation Postcard; Candlelight Vigil at dusk. No political signage and please park off the bridge; see website www.nevereverforget911.com for directions and details.

SEPTEMBER 11th ANNIVERSARY TRIBUTE

[concerned about politics]

We're not in Ca., but we're putting up 2 huge American flags - one on each corner of our house. We also have flags for our vehicles.

BTW, what's with all the bold print on all the threads? Did I miss something today?

Many went to church and prayed.

That is bad ass

[flagbrigade]

c.a.p.

Our group posts a flag on the El Curtola Bridge every 11th of every month as a reminder to Never Ever Forget.

[flagbrigade]

Everyone should visit your site so as never to forget what this war on terror is all about. Thanks for all you do.

[flagbrigade]

Thanks for remembering

[flagbrigade]

Your perspective is much appreciated. You are so right and all else seems trivial without the mention of God in our lives.

[flagbrigade]

If everyone would remember to fly a flag on the 11th of every month no one would EVER forget.

[Mo1]

Meeting at the bridge is a great idea .. what matters is that we are together.

We the people .. United We Stand .. Divided we Fall and these terrorist will NEVER divide us

[flagbrigade]

Amen, brother.

[montag813]

My friends and I will be burning one of each of these on September 11th, in NYC, at the time the first plane hit...

Saudi flag

"Palestinian" flag

U.N. flag

[montag813]

TWO GODDAMED YEARS AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED...

BEFORE...
9/11/01...
AFTER...

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH...DESTROY THE SOURCE OF ALL TERROR--DESTROY THE HOUSE OF SAUD!

[flagbrigade]

Believe it or not, on the one year anniversary of 9-11, a group of 'people' occupied another overpass 2 miles from us and flew flags of dictatorship countries such as Cuba and Libya in order to show solidarity with the world. Oh yea, they also flew the crappy U.N. flag. They're the same 'peace' group that calls us militaristic because we fly the American flag. Go figure.

While burning the flags display a large banner that says 'No Peace With Terrorism'

[stlnative]

That is AWESOME! my american brother!

9/11 is a day for remembering all the innocent people who were murdered on 9/11 and those who have been fighting to keep our country free and safe, praying for our country as a whole, our president and true americans, celebrating life, freedom, justice, liberty, and for crying when we remember the pain and anger that all true americans felt on 9/11.

Hopefully right in front of the UN building.

Good idea. You think Bloomberg will have us arrested on some obscure "public burning" statute if we do?

From now on I believe every Sept. 11 both of the massive lights at Ground Zero will be on in tribute.
