AAmerican//United Flag Run
About This Event-----
Why:
As a demonstration of American resolve and in support of the victims' families, employees of American Airlines, United Airlines, and Military Service Members will carry a United States flag across the country. This flag was flown over Iraq in the cockpit of a U.S. F-16 in support of Operation Southern Watch on October 2, 2001. Proceeds from this event will benefit selected charities in support of the victims of the tragedy on September 11, 2001.
When:
The flag will leave Boston on October 11, 2001 with a goal to arrive in Los Angeles on Veteran's Day, November 11, 2001. These cities represent the origination and destination of American Flight 11 and United Flight 175.
How:
The flag will be carried around the clock to achieve this goal. The routing is being developed but will proceed from Boston, through: New York, Washington, Atlanta, Dallas, Oklahoma City, Albuquerque, Phoenix, and Los Angeles. U.S. military personnel will be involved as the flag moves through the D.C. area. Further military involvement is anticipated as the event nears the vicinity of military installations across the nation.
