This evening I went to visit a friend in Glendale, Calif. about a half hour drive from where I live. I was shocked the minute I crossed over the city line. There are American flags everywhere. All of the light standards having them flying and the huge Glendale Galleria Mall has a large banner that says "God Bless America." The office buildings all have flags as well. It was such a welcome sight that I was choked up. My friend said the flags went up on 9/12/01. Who says government can't get moving when they want to........ In the evening after dark, the flags are illuminated. It made me feel very proud to be an American.
