Date(s)
- June 15, 2020 | 10:30 am
How was Virginia’s Freedom Flag born? It began on September 11, 2001, a day which became America’s modern day of infamy. The nearly 3,000 lives lost during the terrorist attacks on 9/11 made it the deadliest day of bloodshed on American soil since the Civil War, and launched the Global War on Terrorism. Learn how the Freedom Flag went from a sketch on a napkin in response to America’s promise to “Never Forget 9/11,” to becoming Virginia’s Official Flag of Remembrance for September 11, 2001. Presented by John Riley and Tara Krohn of the Freedom Flag Foundation.
