June 21, 2012 A GM plant in Fort Wayne, IN, is getting attention for flying a gay pride flag at the facility. The rainbow flag flies directly below the American flag. The flag was put up this week in support of National Pride Month.
After the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, one of the largest American flags damaged during the attacks continued to fly above the resulting wreckage during the clean-up efforts.
Seven years later, that flag, dubbed the National 9/11 Flag, was sewn back together by tornado survivors in Greensburg, Kansas, and has also been stitched by World War II veterans, survivors of the Ft. Hood, Texas rampage, and Martin Luther King Jr.’s family.
