Please fly a flag on September 11th

A friend of mine forwarded this email to me, and I think it's one of those rare "chain" emails that we actually should pay attention to, so here it is:

September 11th, 2009

We have a little less than one month and counting to get the word out all across this great land and into every community in the United States of America.

THE PROGRAM:
On Friday, September 11th, 2009, an American flag should be displayed outside every home, apartment, office, and store in the United States. Every individual should make it their duty to display an American flag on this eighth anniversary of one of our country's worst tragedies. We do this to honor those who lost their lives on 9/11, to the emergency response workers ; their families, friends and loved ones who continue to endure the pain, and those who today are fighting at home and abroad to preserve our cherished freedoms.

In the days, weeks and months following 9/11, our country was bathed in American flags as citizens mourned the incredible losses and stood shoulder-to-shoulder against terrorism. Sadly, those flags have all but disappeared. Our patriotism pulled us through some tough times and it shouldn't take another attack to galvanize us in solidarity. Our American flag is the symbol of the fabric of our country and together we can prevail over terrorism of all kinds

ACTION PLAN:
So, here's what we need you to do .

(1) Forward a link to this page (or copy this to an email and send it) to everyone you know (at least 11 people). Please don't be the one to break this chain. Take a moment to think back to how you felt on 9/11 and let those sentiments guide you.

(2) Fly an American flag of any size on 9/11/09

If you send a link to this page (or send the email) to least 11 people and each of those people do the same ... you get the idea.

Thank you for your participation. God Bless You and God Bless the United States of America!
