Friday

A relatively busy day. I ran out this afternoon to Volvo to pick up some parts for Walter's car, of course they weren't in stock, so they are ordering them and they should be in the first of next week.

While I was out I had opportunity to talk with Danielle. I was glad to hear that her classes are going well and that she is beginning to put together an idea of what type of degree to pursue.

Walter's back from Roanoke - it looks like he won't be heading back up there next week. There is some work that they need him for here in town.

Please join us in the FLY THE FLAG campaign

THE PROGRAM IS THIS:

On Tuesday, September 11th, 2007, 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 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.

Action Plan: So, here's what we need you to do...

(1) Pass on the plan to everyone you know (at least 11 people). 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.

Thank you for your participation.
God Bless You and God Bless America
