Afternoon, Starwise!
To Our Brave Patriot Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen, and Coasties~~
On the five year anniversary of the tragic events at the Pentagon, the twin towers in New York City, and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, the America Supports You Freedom Walk begins a new national tradition to reflect on the lives lost on September 11, renew our commitment to freedom and the values of our country and honor our veterans, past and present.
Freedom Walks are being held in cities large and small across the country. Washington, D.C. is hosting the second annual America Supports You Freedom Walk on the eve of September 11.
