National 9/11 Flag to Visit
Southport NC
February 12,
2011 -
Southport, NC - The National 9/11 Flag was severely damaged
in the collapse of the North Tower of the World Trade Center on
September 11, 2001. It was rescued by members of the New York
City Fire Department and seven years later stitched back
together by tornado survivors in Greensburg, Kansas. The Flag is
currently on a journey across America where local service heroes
and the public will be given the privilege of stitching the flag
back to its original 13 stripe format. Once the flag is made
whole again, it will become part of the permanent collection of
the National September 11 Memorial Museum at Ground Zero. Due to
the efforts of Joan and Dick Stewart of
St.
James who lost their son on 9/11, the Flag will be making
its only stop in North Carolina in Southport on July 3rd and
4th. It will be featured at the Naturalization Ceremony, the 4th
of July Parade and the Sea Notes Concert. The public is invited
to participate in the flag stitching ceremony on July 4th from 2
to 6PM at the
Southport Baptist Church Christian Ministry Center.
