The American flag: A symbol of perseverance and hope

07.09.11

WASHINGTON , September 5, 2011—The day after the attacks on America, September 12, 2001, we remembered the American flag.  We remembered what it stands for – hope, perseverance, strength, courage and the truly freest country yet to exist.

We remembered that to raise the flag is not arrogant, nor does it mean you agree with ever single action carried out by your government.

It’s not a conservative or liberal thing. It’s an American thing. It says we stand strong.

As we near the tenth anniversary of 9/11, we need to remember to wave our flag. Hoist it high in remembrance of those who died not just that day, but on the many days before and since, in the line of duty as a soldier, a first responder or any other person who has acted selflessly for the cause of freedom.

For them, hoist an American flag.

If you have not forgotten that it was radical Islamists carrying out a self-described Jihad against our country that day and who continue to wage war against our way of life, raise a flag.
