Dear Richard,
 September
11, 2008
You can participate! September 11th's annual
"Arlington Remembers" activities will, as they have since
2001, include the hanging of U.S. flags from overpasses and
buildings. The County asks that building managers and
residents participate and hang flags in a display of "Flags
Across Arlington." The Chamber has encouraged this display
every year in commemoration of those who needlessly lost
their lives seven years ago.
The County is foregoing their normal ceremony that included
ringing of the bells. They will instead offer large-screen
viewings of the Pentagon Memorial dedication ceremony at
several locations throughout Arlington. The County will
broadcast live coverage of the dedication at the following
locations:
*Lobby, Courthouse Plaza, 2100 Clarendon Blvd.
*Auditorium, Central Library, 1015 North Quincy St.
*Shirlington Library, 2786 S. Arlington Mill Dr.
Sincerely,
The Arlington Chamber of
Commerce
