Proud to visit our North Carolina partners (5 yrs and counting) for annual Patriot Day Remembrance discussions and brainstorming. Thank you Wake Forest Fire Department for being such inviting hosts! For nearly 25 years we’ve been working to see the Freedom Flag become our national symbol of remembrance for September 11, 2001. Great to see so much progress in N. Carolina, and hoping they will become the 5th state tow officially adopt this enduring 9/11 symbol of remembrance.

NORTH CAROLINA REMEMBERS 9/11 ~ Reflecting on a wonderful partnership with Central Elementary School/ Iredell-Statesville Schools the past several years using the 9/11 Freedom Flag & WTC Steel as powerful teaching tools for the next generation of Americans to learn about the most consequential date in recent American history. We are hoping the North Carolina Senate will move forward with approval of HB236 to allow NC to become just the 5th state in the nation to adopt the Freedom Flag as an Official Flag of Remembrance for 9/11. Link to bill in Comments.

In just over 3 mos. we will pause for the 25th anniv. of 9/11 to honor and remember. The Freedom Flag is our nation's only codified flag of remembrance for 9/11, having been adopted by legislatures in Virginia, Oklahoma, Delaware, and the California Assembly.

Hope to see everyone at our Commonwealth's Memorial Day Ceremony tomorrow, Monday, May 25, 2026 @ 11:00 am. WTVR Ch 6 will be broadcasting it live on their channel as well.

Above all, let us not forget the reason we have Memorial Day - it's the day that we honor and remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice while in service to our country.

Let us never forget!
