9/11 FLAG TRIBUTE SNUBBED

August 30, 2004 -- One of the most moving tributes to the victims of Sept. 11 has never been seen in public — a 30-foot flag emblazoned with images of the victims.
But until Mindy Kombert can find someone to take the Stars and Stripes off her hands and put it on public display, she will continue to have the most patriotic tablecloth in Westchester County.
After the 9/11 attacks, Kombert and her graphic-design business partner, Sherry Kronenfeld, decided to pay tribute to the victims by creating a "Flag of Remembrance."
They transferred photographs of the victims into tones of red, white and blue, and sewed the swatches together in a patch-quilt design.
The result was a 20- by-27-foot flag filled with gallant faces. But instead of hanging on a museum wall or waving in a mighty wind, the flag remains folded at Kombert's Chappaqua house, covering the dining-room table.
"One of the main reasons we've had trouble is because it's so big," Kronenfeld said of the flag, which is 20 feet high. "Some of the museums don't even have ceilings that high."

Well you know the junior senator is probably waaay too busy to sign this. You think it's easy being the smartest woman in the world, what with saving the world and all.

Mrs. NavySEAL just wrote the contacts at Flag of Remembrance, asking them if there could be a way they could actually make the flag smaller and sell as a reminder to all of 9/11.
Hope to hear back from them.

LOL. Thanks for the chuckle.... And speaking of chuckle, I figured Schumer would be in on it. The guy gets his face in front of a camera, or name on anything he can.....
