There is no bad day to display your flag but today is one of the best!
If you haven't put out your flag yet it's not too late. What better day to show some patriotism than today, 9-11.
All of us were affected by the events of that day but none more than airline employees, firefighters, police officers and of course our military. Next time you have a chance, say thanks to them for their service.
