The Freedom Flag was designed and created by Richard Nicholas Melito of Richmond, Virginia to memorialize the victims of the horrific events of September 11, 2001. (see below)
The Twin Towers symbolism is of course more obvious when the flag is hanging vertically.
Symbolism:
- Blue Background: all Americans united together for freedom
- White Star: all who lived and died for freedom
- Five White Bars: the Pentagon and the organized protection of our freedom
- Top Red Stripe: the bloodshed of those who perished at the Pentagon and the crew and passengers on American Airlines Flight 77
- Two Broad Red Stripes: the Twin Towers and the bloodshed of the people who perished at the World Trade Center and on American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175
- Bottom Red Stripe: the bloodshed of the crew and passengers who perished on United Airlines Flight 93 in Pennsylvania
- Three White Stripes: the rescue workers, firefighters, police officers, Port Authority employees, and others who worked tirelessly during and after the terrorist attacks "
