Remember 9-11
On Thursday,
September 11, 2008, an
American flag should be
displayed outside every
home, apartment, office, and
store in the United States
of America. Every
individual should make it
their duty to display an
American flag on this
seventh anniversary of one
our Country's worst
tragedies. We do this
in honor
of those who lost their
lives on 9/11, 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 fabric
of our Country and together
we can prevail over
terrorism of all kinds
So, here's
what we need you to do:
(1)
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. Honestly,
Americans should fly the
flag year-round, but if
you don't, then at least
make it a priority on
this day.
(3)
Forward
this email to everyone
you know.
Thank you for your
participation.
God Bless You and God Bless
America!

in Washington DC is the first stop for many of America's returning wounded service members from Iraq and Afghanistan. Known as "the amputee ward", the orthopedic Ward 57 at WRAMC houses some of the most severely injured patients for weeks or even months. The painful sacrifice of losing one or more limbs is the new battle these service members and their families now fight.
Operation Ward 57 was started to have a direct way for individuals and companies to show their support and raise funds for these courageous men and women who have given so much.
The program is run through pro-football player Kerry Carter's Big Foundation, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, Tax ID: 20-196-2446, in partnership with . This is a grass-roots, volunteer effort. Each person who buys a T-shirt, not only shows their support, but directly contributes to items for the Ward, patients, family members and staff.

our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how
justified, is directly proportional to how they perceive the
veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated."
