Some have suggested that the McCain Campaign paid for this ad. Nothing could be further from the truth. Joe Cook did this on his own and is an Iraqi War Veteran.

September 11 - REMEMBER
It has been seven years since the United States was attacked by the cowardice lowlifes of Al Qaeda. I will NEVER forget, and I feel that NO ONE should.
As quoted from the passenger on United Airlines Flight 93, Todd Beamer, said wnen he and others took action to prevent further deaths of innocent American victims on the ground. Todd led the group to action with the rally call now turned battle cry "Let's Roll!"
I dedicate this posting to those who lost their lives on that dreadful day. And I thank those who have stood up for the American people, on that day to the present day.
"Let's Roll!"

McCain Camp ‘Rescues’ Flags From Obama Rally
Found this on the FOXnews website. It's nice to know "how" the Democrats "care and respect" the symbol of the United States of America and her People...
McCain Camp ‘Rescues’ Flags From Obama Rally
by FOXNews.com
Saturday, September 6, 2008
Democrats are not caring for their Stars and Stripes. At least that’s the message out of John McCain’s campaign.
McCain supporters, claiming they rescued 12,000 miniature American flags from the site of Barack Obama’s nomination acceptance speech last Thursday, redistributed the orphan flags to audience members ahead of a McCain rally in Colorado Springs on Saturday.
The move was an overt swipe at Obama from a campaign whose motto has been “country first.” But Democratic convention organizers claimed the flags were not going to be discarded — but instead were snatched from the site of Obama’s historic address to carry out a “cheap political stunt.”
McCain supporters said the flags were discovered by a vendor at Denver’s Invesco Field after the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention. The vendor supposedly found trash bags full of flags in and near garbage bins, and turned them over to the McCain campaign.
Boy Scouts were sorting through 84 bags of flags in Colorado on Saturday, before a McCain supporter had veterans distribute them to the audience.
“We want to find good homes for these flags,” radio host Dan Caplis said at the rally, adding that whatever flags remained would be placed at memorials throughout Colorado.
Audience members, who booed when Caplis announced that the flags were left in Denver, waved the flags and chanted “U.S.A” before McCain arrived at the rally with his running mate, Sarah Palin.
Damon Jones, spokesman for the Democratic National Convention Committee, released a statement saying McCain should applaud the fact that thousands of American flags were “proudly waved” at their convention.
“But instead his supporters wrongfully took leftover bundles of our flags from the stadium to play out a cheap political stunt calling into question our patriotism,” he said.
Obama has faced attacks on his patriotism since the beginning of the Democratic primary race and has set up a Web site specifically designed to fight such charges.
The McCain campaign has denied questioning Obama’s patriotism, and even released a statement Friday calling Obama’s most recent comments on the matter “hysterical.”
Obama said Friday that Republicans are trying to make the election a personality contest, and that “what they’re really saying is ‘we’re going to try to scare people about Barack. So we’re going to say that you know, ‘Maybe he’s got Muslim connections or we’re going to say that, you know, he hangs out with radicals or he’s not patriotic.’”
U.S. Code says the proper method for disposing of an American flag is actually burning, provided it is “no longer a fitting emblem for display.”
The United States Flag Store, which sells full-sized and miniature flags, says on its Web site that flags can also be put in the trash, when they are “worn, damaged or tattered beyond repair.”
FOX News’ Carl Cameron and Bonney Kapp contributed to this report.
Additionally from Flag Rules and Regulations
My flag is old and ready to be retired. What should I do?
Section 8k of the Flag Code states, "The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning." We recommend that you contact your local VFW Chapter and ask them for help properly disposing of your flag. And be sure to consider providing a small donation to them for their assistance. Or you can contact your local Elks Lodge (who created the idea of Flag Day, established officially by President Truman, himself a member of the Elks), the American Legion, or the Knights of Columbus. Some Boy Scout and Girl Scout troups also can provide this service.
See Flag Burning Service and Ceremony.
In earlier times, most American flags were made of cotton or wool. But today's flags are often nylon or other petroleum-based materials. Burning them can release hazardous gases, including formaldehydes, ammonia, carbon monoxide, and traces of hydrogen cyanide into the air. In some states, it is even illegal to burn nylon, so adhering to the Flag Code puts you in direct violation of the law. Burning is preferred for cotton and wool flags. Nylon and flags made from other synthetics can be buried.
Modern flag retirement ceremonies, often held annually on Flag Day, sometimes feature the symbolic burning of a single flag (cotton or wool) and the burial of the others. This is both safe and respectful.

TRACE ADKINS TO APPEAR IN AN AMERICAN CAROL
09/04/08
New Comedy Film Set For Nationwide Theatrical Release Friday, October
Country star Trace Adkins will soon appear on the big screen in AN AMERICAN CAROL, the new irreverent comedy scheduled for nationwide theatrical release on Friday, October 3.
In An American Carol, Adkins portrays the Angel of Death, one of three spirits visiting an infamous "Hollywood" filmmaker who has made a career out of criticizing America. Each ghost takes him on a hilarious journey in attempt to show the error of his ways and the true meaning of America.
In describing his character, Adkins says, "I'm the guy who performs the same function that the Grim Reaper did in the Charles Dickens' tale - he's showing this guy what the future could possibly look like and is trying to scare him straight."
In casting the role of the "Angel of Death," film director David Zucker (Airplaine!, The Naked Gun, Scary Movie 3 & 4) says, "There were many great ideas that came to mind, (Adkins, Farley - Photo by Sam Emerson/Mpower) but Trace Adkins stood out as someone strong enough to carry it, intimidating with his physical presence and resonating voice."
Adkins, who is also gearing up to release his tenth country album in November comments further, "It was really cool playing a character who holds life and death in his hands."
In addition to Adkins, the movie features Kevin Farley, Kelsey Grammer, Leslie Neilsen, Dennis Hopper, James Woods, Robert Davi, Geoffrey Arend, Serdar Kalsin and Jon Voight.
