I made this 3' X 6' banner with paint pens and markers Sept 22 so I could bring it to the Titans - Jaguars game in Jacksonville, Sept 23, 2001. That was to be the first NFL gameday since the cowards attacked America on Sept 11th.

I wanted to encourage my fellow citizens, at the game and those watching on TV, and to send a message to all terrorists that Americans are NOT afraid of them. The cameras at the stadium put the banner up on the "Jumbotron" screen and the whole stadium cheered!

Since then it has hung above my front door, lighted by my porch light every night. My neighbor told me the other evening how much he looked forward to walking his dog and looking at the banner every night. He said he feels very proud to see Lady Liberty and read those words, "Land of the FREE, Home of the BRAVE".

I think I will keep it there till this War on Terror is won.

Keep the faith and hold your head up high!

Love your banner - it's so good to see people being so patriotic - flying flags, wearing ribbons, flags, bumper stickers, bows on their cars, banners on their houses. God Bless America!
