A friend sent this to me (a vet from both Gulf Wars) and I am posting it here as I like the idea.

On Monday, September 11th, 2006, 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 fifth anniversary of our country's worst tragedy. 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. Fly an American flag of any size on 9/11. Thank you for your participation.

This is a very interesting documentary. It's about and hour and a half long. Provides interesting ideas and "theories" about that day.

I stumbled on this video and thought I would share it. I'm not saying I agree 100% with this, but it does ask some of the same questions I have had about the events of that day.
