HandsOn Central Ohio, in partnership with the city of Columbus, will be hosting the National 9/11 Flag in Columbus on Saturday, June 25th.
As we approach the 10th anniversary of the worst terrorist attack on American soil, it is essential for Columbus citizens to take time to remember, reflect and be empowered to get involved in disaster preparedness.
Destroyed in the aftermath of the World Trade Center attacks on September 11th and stitched back together seven years later by tornado survivors in Greensburg, Kansas, the National 9/11 Flag is a testament to the resilience and compassion of the American people.
