By
Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties 01238708

The World Memorial Tour will start at the Santa Monica Pier in California this Saturday on September 11, 2010. The World Memorial is a federal charity foundation and will tour the country and plans on flying the" flag" in all 50 states.

The "flag" is a 30 by 58 feet US flag which has been named the "Patriot Flag". It will be flown at the September 11 memorial on the Santa Monica Pier. The event will begin from 9 am and last till 9pm.

On display will be a 200 pound steel piece from the World Trade Center among other items. In addition to the Patriot Flag, there will be approximately 200 other flags flown. These will consist of the 50 US State flags and each of the countries that lost citizens during the attacks.

The mission statement of the World Memorial Group is"... to keep the memories alive and never to forget what happened...." They want to "...educate and teach truth and tolerance..."  They do not have any political nor religious agenda.

I am enclosing a few links here for you to get more information:

I have found a link that shows the Santa Monica Pier live every four seconds so you should be able to click on this link and see it during the day.    There will be a candle-light vigil underneath the US and international flags around 8pm.

Endre - This sounds like a great day. Too bad I will be in the area on Sunday not Saturday. Bummer I would have liked to see this. I can't believe they have a 200 pound steel piece all the way from NY.
