JCC to host stitching event for National 9-11 Flag.

T

he National 9-11 Flag is
giving the Star-Spangled
Banner an entirely new mean-
ing. Composed of an American flag
destroyed in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist
attacks as well as pieces of retired flags
from across the country, the National
9-11 Flag pays homage to the strength
and courage of America's servicemen
and women, as well as firefighters,
police officers and military officials.
Before resting at its final destination
in the National September 11 Memorial
Museum, the New York Says Thank You
Foundation is taking the flag to all 50
states, with Michigan's stop days away.
With each stop, members of the
New York City Fire Department will
work with local service heroes to stitch
together pieces of the flag. When the

flag is in Michigan on Sunday, July 10, a
ceremony with service heroes to sew the
Michigan restorative patch (a piece of a
retired American flag from Michigan)
onto the flag will take place at 1 p.m. at
the Jewish Community Center in West
Bloomfield. At 4 p.m., the public is wel-
come to participate in the mitzvah of
repairing the flag by adding a stitch.
Wendy Hauser and Carolyn Deters
of the New York Says Thank You
Foundation were hoping the JCC would
host the event there.
Why the JCC? Hauser grew up in
West Bloomfield, where her family once
owned the land where Shenandoah
Country Club and Temple Israel now
stand. Although she no longer lives in
Michigan, Hauser remains a member of
Adat Shalom Synagogue in Farmington
Hills and still comes home for holidays.
Hauser said she chose the JCC as the
event's location because it has such a

,

strong sense of community — a com-
munity she still feels a part of. The New
York Says Thank You reinforces this
sense of community because Wendy's
brother, Jeff Parness, is founder and
chairman of the foundation, which
began in 2003. So, the New York organi-
zation has its roots in Jewish Detroit.
Even if you cannot attend the public
stitching, you can help the cause by
nominating a service hero to partici-
pate in the stitching ceremony. Whether
the hero fought in a war, survived an
attack or performed some other act of
bravery, you can make a nomination by
going to www.National911Flag.org and
clicking on "Nominate a Service Hero."
Although stitching the flag no the
Michigan patch is free to the public,
participants are encouraged to donate
$5 to "Sponsor A Stitch." I I
