U.S. 50 Star "Honor Flag" - 9/11.
Sub-collection: World Trade CenterU.S. 50 Star "Honor Flag" - 9/11.
This polyester flag was inspired by the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001, it is modeled after the American Flag, with a blue star field, 50 stars, and thirteen alternating red and white stripes. The names of the victims have been printed on the stripes.
This flag was the concept of John Michelotti and differs from many of the flags created by entrepreneurs after the tragedy in that it takes the form of the United States Flag; while displaying the individual names of all the victims that were killed as a result of the terrorist attacks.
Like some of the 9/11 associated flags the proceeds of the sale of this flag are donated to 9/11
Charities.
Provenance: Acquired by purchase in 2002.
