Eight years ago our country suffered a deadly blow, both literally and figuratively, as terrorists took over four commercial airplanes flying two into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon, and fatally grounded one in a Pennsylvania field.

Those who saw the events live or on television will never forget that day. To help show our respect and support for those who lost their lives and are fighting for our freedom, all are asked to fly the flag of the United States of America this Friday.
