September 11, 2011 will mark the 10th anniversary of an event that will live on in our memories forever—the terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center. That day in history changed so many lives on our soil and all over the world, and now, a decade later, we must never forget the thousands of American lives lost.
In order to honor the victims of that tragic day, Annin Flagmakers created the Flag of Honor which features the names of all those who perished on planes, at the Pentagon, and at the World Trade Center, and the Flag of Heroes which lists the names of all Emergency personnel who perished. Annin will donate 10% of the net sales from these flags to organizations that offer support to the families of victims of this national tragedy.
Also to mark the anniversary, we are offering a September 11th red, white, and blue nylon streamer which reads “In Memory of the Heroes and Those Who Perished, Sept. 11, 2001” and a yellow and white “We Remember” streamer (while supplies last). All Star Flags is proud to partner with Annin to mark this significant day in American history.
