[ Note: Flag Steward proves it is the most accurate and complete listing of half-staff (National, State, & Local) again: Flags Express, Colonial Flag app, and Legacy are all missing the SC Governor state ordered half-staff. Only Flag Notify has that half-staff oder, but along with all the others is missing the local half-staff in TN for our latest GWOT Fallen Soldier ]
Today's Moment to Remember
[ General Benedict Arnold = public domain image ]
On this date, September 23, in 1780, American soldiers captured British Major John Andre. On him were found plans to easily overtake West Point, the Continental Army's best fort and defense along the Hudson River. The fort attack plans were given to John Andre by another another spy and traitor serving in the Continental Army - General Benedict Arnold - a trusted officer who became "America's most well-known traitor (spy / double-crosser / back-stabber)." After being uncovered for his treason, then Major (2-star) General of the Continental Army, Benedict Arnold, fled and became a Brigadier (1-star) General for the British.
Slice of Americana
Near this date, on September 21, in 2001, a benefit concert, called "America: A Tribute to Heroes," was put on and aired on all the major broadcast and cable networks commercial free. In the video below, see the stirring introductory speech by Clint Eastwood and opening song with lots of famous artists (music, TV, & movie stars) who all came together to show the world "United We Stand" - standing up against terrorism.
