American flag tribute in Middletown, Ohio to victims of the September 11 attacks
We celebrate the adoption of the now-iconic Stars and Stripes with this image of skydivers in the air over Middletown, Ohio. The skydivers were part of a 2011 commemoration of the September 11 attacks, their US flags rippling as they slowly descended. Flag Day pays homage to the day the Second Continental Congress gave an official resolution to adopt the Red, White, and Blue—with just 13 stars at the time—as our nation’s flag.
