HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Sept. 2, 2008 — As the anniversary of 9/11 draws near, AmericanFlags.com is leading a campaign to encourage every American to fly a US flag on September 11, 2008. As such, AmericanFlags.com is offering deep discounts and free shipping on American flags of all sizes.
"In the days, weeks and months following 9/11, America was bathed in US flags and our country was united in national pride," said AmericanFlags.com President/CEO Jeffrey Reynolds. "Over time, those flags became worn, tattered and torn before disappearing altogether. As we mark this important anniversary and reflect back on that horrific day, our American flags should once again fly high on every home, school and business," he added.
September 11th has been officially designated "Patriot Day" and US flags should be flown at half staff in memory of the thousands of Americans who lost their lives on that day in 2001. A moment of silence is also typically observed beginning at 8:46 A.M. (Eastern Daylight Time), marking the first plane crash on that infamous day.
AmericanFlags.com is one of the world's largest retailers of American-made flags, featuring indoor and outdoor US flags of all sizes, handheld flags, residential flag kits, historic flags, military flags and a wide variety of patriotic products. In addition to the web's largest selection of US flags, AmericanFlags.com also features a beautiful limited-edition 9/11 Remembrance Flag to be flown on Patriot Day and year-round.
