9/11 Remembrance Flag.

Sub-collection: World Trade Center

9/11 Remembrance Flag.
This special 9/11 Remembrance Flag was designed in order for us to honor and remember the sad loss of thousands of heroes on September 11, 2001. These people gave up their lives for our freedom. When a historical event such as this occurs, it is our duty as American citizens to ensure that these memories are kept alive for future generations. It is better to learn from the circumstances and make a huge effort to prevent similar events from happening in our future than it is to dwell on the sadness and devastation.

This 9/11 Remembrance Flag is our way of ensuring that the events and deaths that happened on that tragic day will be kept alive forever. Wherever this flag is displayed, people will remember the September 11th incident as well as similar destructive events. We want to ensure that the greatest reminder that we take from 9/11 is not what the terrorists took from us but rather how we managed to unite together - physically, emotionally, monetarily and willingly - risking everything for the freedom of our children and our children's children.
