This should be immortalized in a bronze statue like the Iwo photo. Why hasn’t it? I read somewhere that the PC police objected because the fire fighters shown were all white guys. Disgraceful

Correct me if I am wrong, but I remember something about that flag being carried by the first special ops guys to land in the invasion of Khandahar. And I believe it was raised at the airport when they took that city.

I would have thought the flag returned to the yacht would have been an attempt to replace what was taken that was now a historic artifact. If the owners of the yacht are P.O.ed because the original was not returned, then that opens yet another can of worms for the intent of the article.

Obama probably gave it to Bill Ayers to use for a rug.

Signed by Bloomberg and Giuliani?

Isn’t that sort of presumptuous? To write ANYTHING on an American flag? Like, “How dare you?!” presumptuous?

I’ve heard a lot of lunacy this Sept. 11th — no clergy allowed at the ceremony, that old hippy Paul Simon singing his nonsensical song — but this “signing the flag” business takes the cake so far.
