Its just this simple. We still remember! Our thoughts go to all those affected by that frightful day.

Made in America
All of Flag-Works over America’s American flags are made in America, but what does that mean? Three little words with a lot of meaning “Made in America”. Let’s see if I can list a few of the meanings. Feel free to add any of your own meanings as I’m sure I cannot list them all.
- Patriotism
- Looking out for your neighbor and country
- Jobs
- American dollars
- American dollars staying in America
- Booming economy
- Employment
- Less unemployment
- Quality
- Less homeless
- Less poverty
- More good jobs
- Higher earnings
- American manufacturing boom
- Add your own
If everything feasibly possible was made in America our country would be in great shape.
Oh Beautiful I Love the American flag
I made this little video of the American flag blowing in the wind. After I added the soundtrack of Oh Beautiful I could only wish that I had made the video longer. This little snippet may be short but I think it will set you in the right mood if your at all patriotic.
100 Mile Run
This is a poem I wrote for my cousin after she finished her first (of many) 100 mile run. The run took place in Vermont at the Vermont one hundred miler.
24:57:35
Morning dark, stomach fluttering awaiting the gun
Start, I’m here, I can do it, Bang! It’s just begun
Light in hand up hill and down
Just beginning, hours to go, I won’t fall down
Aid stations pass 3, 5, and 9, with many more in due time
Continue on, forever the flow, as other runners go
Stage road aid, friends abound, one marathon down
Up hill and down, sometimes I put on a frown
Thoughts running too, I think I’ll sing
A happy song, eliminating my feet’s sting
Camp 10 bear for the first time
Heat on my mind, will I make it on time
Runners come, walkers go, one foot more, I’m gonna go
This I must, do it all, 100 miles, that is all
At 10 Bear two, I complete sixty eight point two
I’m on my way, to make a hundred, this day
Night comes on, but Gilly’s my light
The G.A.C. has entered the fight
As we run and hobble on, just in time to turn it on
Green lights line the bend, I’m all a glow, it’s gonna end
Finish nears with friends I hear, aunt, cousin, daughters ever so near
The moment, why, they’re all here, it’s almost time to enter in cheer
Complete this day they all have come, to see Vicki and
Her one hundred mile run, outcome

One Minute
One Minute is all you need to think
One Minute is all you need to drink
One Minute is all you need to speak
One Minute is all you need to Freak
One Hour is all you need to eat a peach
One Hour is all you need to visit the beach
One Hour is all you need to go for a hike
One Hour is all you need to ride a bike
One Day is all you need to take a class
One Day is all you need to make a glass
One Day is all you need to head out west
One Day is all you need to do you best
One week is all you need to learn how to ski
One week is all you need to remember to be free
One week is all you need to buy a flag this season
One week is all you need to end this rhyme of reason
Most things only take a minute, so please come early for all your flag and flagpole needs this season.
