Looking up to a Hero

Uploaded: May 27, 2013

Description

This statue stands in Heroes Plaza, a National Medal of Honor Memorial in Pueblo, Colorado. Pueblo was designated "America's Home of Heroes" in 1993. It was the only city in America at that time with as many as four living recipients of the Medal of Honor. The flag is the Flag of Honor.
It hangs in 380 year-old Trinity Church, Manhattan's oldest public building in continuous use. Such well-known people as George Washington worshipped here. Although it was just yards from Ground Zero, not a pane of glass was shattered in the attack. It served as a sanctuary and resting place for recovery workers. The flag states "This flag contains the names of those killed in the terrorist attacks of 9.11. Now and forever it will represent their immortality. We shall never forget them."
