Displaying an American flag on your house should hang from a staff that angles out from the front wall, a windowsill, or balcony. It's a good idea to screw a bracket made for holding a flagstaff to the trim. Fasten it securely so it won't become soiled or damaged. Do not allow the flag to touch the ground, floor, water, or anything else beneath it. It's also appropriate to hang the flag from a horizontal staff.
Whether the flag hangs from an angled or horizontal staff, be sure the union or canton (the rectangle with the stars) is at the peak. (Hanging the flag with the union down signals extreme distress.) When our President declares the flag to be flown at half-staff, it is acceptable to hang the flag from a horizontal staff with the union down, though your neighbors may not understand why you're doing this.
When the flag is displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be at the top and to your left. When displayed in a window, the flag should be hung so that the union is on the left when you see it from the street.
The American flag is meant to be a flag; don't use it for any other purpose. For example, don't use it as drapery, ceiling decoration, or as a bed spread. And never use it as a receptacle for carrying or holding anything.
Though it is customary to fly the flag from sunrise to sunset, the U.S. Code says that "when a patriotic effect is desired," you can display it around the clock. If you do, you should illuminate it with a light.
If you display the American flag next to other flags or pennants, place it on the right side of a single flag or at the center of a group and slightly higher than the other flags. If an American flag is on the same staff as other flags, it should always be at the top. The gist is that other flags should not be in positions of greater prominence or honor.
When displayed from a car, the flagstaff should be fixed or clamped firmly to the vehicle, ideally on the right side. The flag should not be draped over the hood, top, sides, or back. The same holds true for a flag displayed on a float in a parade. Don't carry the flag flat or horizontally. And, because it is not meant to be apparel, do not wear a United States flag. If you wear a lapel flag, pin it on the left side, near your heart.
Why bother with flag etiquette when you're excited about flying the Stars and Stripes? I figure that, for more than two hundred years, our country's military, firefighters, police, and other service personnel have practiced these measures faithfully, treating our flag with the highest esteem. This is one way we can meet the high standard they have set.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani lead the reading of the names of those killed at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2002. A ceremony that marked the first anniversary of the terrorist attacks. The ceremony also celebrated and honored America's Resolve & Strength that was displayed on Tuesday, September 11, 2001, as well as the days, weeks and months that followed.
September 11,2001
Time stood still that tragic morning "The World Trade Center has been struck by a plane" the reporters echoed over and over again "Our country is under attack" exclaimed President Bush.
There was an eerie silence in the sky as all planes had been grounded Thousands of lives lost...Brave Firemen, Paramedics, and Police Officers had given up their Lives for the safety of many.
God be with us and give us strength to get through the war we are waging against Terrorist...
We Pray for support for all the victims and families that grieve
We Will Never Forget!
We Will Never Forgive!
Safely Home
If I should leave this world Without so much as a warning, And not whisper a fond farewell, Grieve not for one more message From the lips that God has stilled. But just remember me with love And prayers for my soul's journey To that fair land beyond life's tears For I have believed with all my heart In it's existence, and I know that God is good, for he has come to me Through the life of Him whose very Garment I have sought to touch. It may be lonely, and I hope you miss me Just a little, because I have loved so deeply Forgive me if I have hurt you And remember me for what I longed to be. Have faith that I am nearer than Your dreams and fondest longings. For the God of love shall keep all Kindered spirits close together. Through the misty vale between This world and that to come Keeps us from each other's sight. For a few precious moments. Whisper softly that you love me And it shall linger on within my soul. Until you come, Say not good-bye For on some bright tomorrow, We Shall Meet Again

HERO'S
A Hero is the person who comes to your aid day or night. No matter the circumstances Hero's are always there. They briefly put aside concern for their own safety and focus on the situation at hand.
Hero's do not discriminate against age, sex, race or origin, Hero's who care deeply. Hero's are thee forever diligent to your needs, awaiting your call for help.
They do so without selfishness or hesitation. They never ask for anything in return and most always hide from recognition they so much deserve. You may know of one of these Hero's for they may live next door, down the street or across town.
They are in every city of every state awaiting the cry for help. Some say it's their duty, but in fact it is their will. Some may fall to their actions, but do so knowing what can happen, but that doesn't deter a Hero for they care.
If you should ever be lucky enough to meet one of these Hero's in your lifetime or receive their aid be sure to put your arm around them and tell them your glad their there. For that is all the they desire.
Americas Hero's are there for you, me and everyone no matter what and they give so much of their lives to be those Hero's and do everything they can and more.
One might ask who are these brave people we call America's Hero's? The answer=The Men and Women of EMS
