Operation Patriot	09/11/2006 03:54:22 AM
Thank you to the 25 or so folks who participated late last night in Operation Patriot. As I left my guard duty this morning, the flags looked beautiful in the morning light. It seemed a very fitting and honorable way to remember those tragically taken from us five years ago. More pictures will be up soon. Here is the offical press release from Sara: Contact: Sara Pat Badgley FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Cell: 928.446.3546 September 10, 2006 Email: spbadge@email.arizona.edu University of Arizona students put up 3000 flags to honor all the victims of 9.11.01 UA WILDCATS WILL NEVER FORGET. TUCSON- Students of the University of Arizona set up 2,997 American flags to honor and celebrate the lives of the victims of September 11th, 2001. The flags were displayed on Heritage Hill of the Alumni Plaza in front of the Administration Building on the University of Arizona Campus. "Putting up these flags is a fitting tribute to the 3000 heros that were wrongly taken from us five years ago. The events of 9/11 forever changed the lives of many Americans, and forever changed the global landscape. Freedom is not free, and we must never give up the fight," said Blake Rebling, UA College Republican President. The flags will be present until 8 pm of Monday September 11th. They will be taken out by the University of Arizona's College Republicans after the conclusion of the Freedom Walk Memorial Ceremony. Blake Rebling, UA College Republican President, and Sara Pat Badgley, UA College Republican Director of Communication, will be present to comment. Sara Pat Badgley can be reached at 928.446.3546.
