Wreaths Across America Invites Oklahomans to Join National Flag Waving Effort Prior to September 11

Wed, 25 Aug 2021 09:39:42 CDT

Wreaths Across America Invites Oklahomans to Join National Flag Waving Effort Prior to September 11 Wreaths Across America (WAA) urges all Americans to join together on Tuesday, September 7, 2021, in waving the American flag in remembrance of the 20th Anniversary of September 11th. The event will be hosted live on its official Facebook page and broadcast over Wreaths Across America Radio.

The event will include Gold Star Families, whose loved ones answered the call to serve after 9/11, veterans and first responders and their families. Now more than ever, it is so important that we come together as Americans to show support for those whose service, courage and sacrifice, help keep America free.

"Now, more than ever, it is so critical for communities to come together to Remember all those who served, and Honor their service and their family's service, especially those who volunteered during the War on Terror following the events of September 11, 2001," WAA Executive Director, Karen Worcester said. "But more than anything, we must Teach our children about these men and women, and the courage and commitment it takes to be a part of the small number of Americans who protect all our freedoms. Please join me on Sept. 7th, as we wave the flag across America, like we do each Tuesday morning, and never forget that Freedom isn't free, and it must be protected."

The flag-waving event will begin at 8:45 a.m. ET and conclude at 10:05 a.m. ET. In addition to the National Anthem, Pledge of Allegiance and sharing of stories, the event will include four moments of silence, as listed below.
At 8:46 am, on Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001, five hijackers took control of American Airlines Flight 11 and flew it into the heart of New York City and the northern facade of the World Trade Center's North Tower (1 WTC).

At 9:03 am, five other hijackers flew United Airlines Flight 175 into the southern facade of the South Tower (2 WTC).

At 9:37 am, another five hijackers flew American Airlines flight 77 into the western facade of the Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia.

At 10:03 am, four hijackers crashed United Airlines Flight 93 into a field in Stonycreek Township near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Wreaths Across America is the nonprofit organization best known for placing veterans' wreaths on the headstones of our nation's fallen at Arlington National Cemetery. However, the organization, in total, places more than 2 million sponsored veterans' wreaths at over 2,750 participating locations nationwide and offers year-round programs in support of its mission to Remember, Honor, Teach. These programs include The Mobile Education Exhibit which will be visiting New Jersey, Maine, Delaware, and Maryland in September and Wreaths Across America Radio. Morning Show host Michael W. Hale will conduct live interviews and on-air tributes on Saturday, Sept. 11, 2021, during a special edition broadcast of his morning show from 8-10 a.m. ET.
