I think it's just a picture related to one of the products they produce: safety glass for air;iners, cars, etc. Do you think it's referring to 9/11? I wonder how long the picture's been on the website... interesting....

Should be proclaimed terrorist day and then we proceed to terrorize, however we deem necessary, anybody that has messed with us in the last 12 months.

"Maybe New England should change their "Patriot Day" to September 11? "
Not a chance, I hope. Patriots' Day in New England commemorates the day that the militias of Sudbury, Wayland, Concord, Lexington, et al, marched off to defend against the British, and fire the "shot heard round the world," beginning the Revolutionary War which gave this country birth.
I remember participating in the annual re-enactment every year on April 19, at Sudbury's Town Common when I was a kid. My dad along with all the other men in the company wearing authentic costumes carried a musket, and we'd all gather on the common, and the men and boys formed up and marched off, while the women and kids, also in authentic costume, would see them off.

Thank you for posting the codes. They are so abused that it's pathetic. Hopefully everyone will take the time to read them.

Flag was first put up last year on 9/11 at approximately 12:30 after recovering from the initial shock, and has not been taken down since. It's still flying as beatifully now as it did that horrible day, and I will continue to fly it proudly.Is it weather proof? Is it properly illuminated at night?

I should have clarified - it comes down in the rain, at night and when we travel. It goes up first thing every morning and comes down at dark. I do have a question though - the flagpole we have doesn't permit a flag to be flown at half mast - how do I handle that on 9/11. Think I read a black ribbon around the flagpole covers the half mast issue.Disregard my previous post.
Carry on.

It has not faded at all, comes down in the rain and is taken down at night.

Your flag was probably stolen by a liberal or Euroweenie (half kidding). I'll be wearing my flag pin and the flag will still be proudly flying. Maybe you can find a stick-on window sort of flag - then the (insert swear words) will have to break in to get to the flag!
