9/11 Flag Guidance


The USA has declared a day of national mourning with all flags at half mast.


President George W. Bush has proclaimed Sept. 11 Patriot Day, and is encouraging Americans to fly flags at half-staff from sunrise to sunset.

In 2002, The presiden't proclamation read, in part: "On this (2002) first observance of Patriot Day, we remember and honor those who perished in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

We will not forget the events of that terrible morning nor will we forget how Americans responded in New York City, at the Pentagon, and in the skies over Pennsylvania, with heroism and selflessness; with compassion and courage; and with prayer and hope.

We will always remember our collective obligation to ensure that justice is done, that freedom prevails, and that the principles upon which our Nation was founded endure."

Pres. Bush also made a number of suggestions for Patriot Day, including:

* holding a moment of silence at your place of business, school or home at 8:46 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 11


* signing up to be a volunteer through the USA Freedom Corps Volunteer Network (www.usafreedomcorps.gov); and,


* talking to your children about why America is observing Patriot Day.

The resurgence of interest in the American flag boomed after Sept. 11. Throughout the country, flag makers and sellers met demands in the millions. Wal-Mart, the nation's largest retailer, sold 116,000 flags on the day of the terrorist attacks. That's about 20 times normal sales.
