      I saw the flag on the MWOBS webcam. Nicely done!

        Pfft, remember you and I on Anderson? No chance of rain? Then it was pouring? 😛

          One of the dudes I work with was in the Wildcat D party and confirmed the flag was up and a-flyin’.

            Thanks for sharing the pics, and thanks to you and your unit for the flyby, it was quite an emotional sight to many, if not all, of us. A really special touch on a special day. :flag:

              I was supposed to be on N. Kinsman with Joe and gang, but a cold sidelined me, so I went to plan B and brought my wife up the tram. She was amazed at it all. I was certainly amazed at the humongous flag up there, and am also anxiously awaiting a photo from Garfield or Lincoln. 🙂 Great job, folks, really great job.

              The day started with me watching the ceremonies on TV, and at each moment of silence marking a plane hit or a building collapse, my eyes would well up, feeling great sorrow. When that Blackhawk was making the rounds, I also was welling up again, but this time in joy and pride. It was an immense gesture by the Guard.

              As we came through the notch heading up, I was surprised and very pleased to see a flag where the Old Man once stood. Very awesome spot. I hadn’t realized this has been done before, by some very special folks.

              Thank you to all participants in a tough year to pull this off, I was at least happy to visit if I couldn’t pitch in. And welcome back, Jim.

                I can confirm Passaconaway, as a buddy of mine from work did it and just showed me the picture.

                    Scott, admirable, but you’re way too modest. Sorry you couldn’t join us, but I’m really happy you got to participate, which I’m sure was very important to you. Bravo, good sir.

                      Kudos for a great way to mark the occassion. It took us a bit to find you folks from N. Twin, until Joe realized you were on the outlook. Seeing the naked eye flags was the best.

                        I almost forgot, it was great telling people what was going on. I told one fellow the whole deal, there was a pause for a moment, and he simply said with a good deal of solemnness, “Good.” Enough said.

                          Sigh – yeah, I’m a klutzy idiot – no surprise to those that know me. Thanks for the dry shirt Joe, my fleece was getting toasty.

                          First FOT48 for me, and I was very satisfied to do something to remember the victims. My own little contribution was to print out and tack up a list of all of the victims’ names, triple columned, 28 pages of it. It was very humbling thumbing through it thinking about how many lives were shattered that day.

                          Thanks for letting me tag along, Joe. It was great seeing/meeting all the folks at Truant’s afterwards.

                            I think that’s where we’ll go as well.

                            Hope it’s not too out of the way from your ride home. 😉 😉
