In memory of the 2,977 killed in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the President requests that the American flag be flown at half-staff at individual American homes, at the White House, and on all U.S. government buildings and establishments, home and abroad.
A very special service and thanks to all including the Orcas Island Community Band.
Never forget.
Very nice service, thank you to all who put the event on and participated.
