Cant you just let it go? Just move along, we are not like you and don’t want to be.
I came home from a long hard day of work, not unlike a day 5 years ago. I saved my tears for my home, now you even invade me there.
Bill I'm done with you, don’t ask for help again, don’t ask for a kind word when you need it most you will not find it here.
For those that lost lives 5 years ago I hope you find rest, peace knowing that some of us still respect those that were lost. We have not lost the vision of the twin towers that fell, the planes full of people that died.
RIP

I fly my flag when I am at home, which isn't often. I am not a fair weather patriot, nor am I a hero. I am in the military doing my job, so that September 11 never happens again on American soil.
To those who are serving alongside me thank you very much.
To the American public, thank you for allowing me to serve this great country.
To the Victims, rest in peace, and know YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN.
And my last comment, Thank you to the people on Flight 93, You are among the real heroes too.------------------

Amen and thank you for your service. They said "Let's Roll", I say ROLL ON!

Freedom isn't Free, it's paid for with the blood and dreams of those that have gone before us.
My imagination is the only limiting factor to my Fiero. Well, there is that money issue.[This message has been edited by blackrams (edited 09-11-2006).]

The Flag flies at our house every day. We display it as a symbol of the Liberty and Freedom that is the birthright of all Americans, including those we may disagree with.

We purchse our flags from our Congressman. They are high quality, American-made, nylon flags with embroidered stars, and cost $13.00 + $4.00 for delivery. You can afford one. These flags are far superior to the foreign-made printed flags that Wal-Mart sells.
For an additional $4.00, the flag will be flown (albeit briefly) over the U.S. Capitol. You may request the flag be flown on a certain date, and/or in honor or memory of anyone you desire. A certificate will be sent with the flag. Our flag was flown in memory of my father, who served his country during WWII as a navigator in a B-17.
Just go to your Congressman's website and look for a link to 'Constituent Services' or "Flag Request'. You will have to print out a request form, complete it, and mail in a check. It usually takes about 4-6 weeks to get your flag.
By the way, once our flag becomes worn and faded, it is folded and taken to the local VFW post. The Vets there ceremonially dispose of flags once or twice a year. They are genuinely honored to do this.[This message has been edited by SC Coupe (edited 09-11-2006).]

The flag has flown at our home 24 / 365 every since 9-11.
Thank you, one and all in the services, for fighting to keep our freedom.
