How can Americans best remember the events of 9-11-01 on it's anniversary? What did Americans do right after those catastrophic events in communities across the U.S.? Strangers gathered in public places, including many highway overpasses and bridges waving flags and banners of unity and pride. No government agency sanctioned those events and no one was told to be patriotic. What better wayt to pay tribute to those who died than to capture that same spirit of 9/11, what some have called grassroots patriotism.

In that tradition the LAFAYETTE FLAG BRIGADE of Lafayette, CA. will be remembering 9/11 with an OVERPASS RALLY at the El Curtola Bridge on Thursday 9-11-03.

Schedule of Events:

MORNING OBSERVANCES at these overpasses from 5:30-8:00 a.m.-------

1. San Ramon: Hwy 680/Alcosta Blvd exit overpass. 2. Pleasant Hill: Hwy 680/Oak Park exit overpass. 3. Lafayette: Hwy 24/El Curtola Bridge(Pleasant Hill Rd. exit) 4. Orinda: Hwy 24/St. Stephens exit overpass. 5. Martinez: Hwy 680/Glazier Dr. (Morello exit) Bring flag and flashlight.

AFTERNOON TRIBUTE from 3:00 - 8:00 p.m., El Curtola Bridge Lafayette (Pleasant Hill Rd. exit to Old Tunnel Rd. to top of overpass) Patriotic music; largest flag display in Northern California; Blue Star Moms and Operation Postcard; Candlelight Vigil at dusk.

SEPTEMBER 11th ANNIVERSARY TRIBUTE

[concerned about politics]

We're not in Ca., but we're putting up 2 huge American flags - one on each corner of our house. We also have flags for our vehicles.

BTW, what's with all the bold print on all the threads? Did I miss something today?

Many went to church and prayed.
