Giant Flag Flying in NB - 9/11 Anniversary

Giant basketball court size flag flying over the peninsula in Newport Beach, California...The flag is in memory of 9/11 anniversary. And is provided by Daivd Michael Whittaker, a homeless and disabled American war veteran, who is traveling with his flag on a trailer that is attached to his electric wheelchair to raise awareness of the plight of thousands of homelessness American veterans. His goal is to visit all 50 states with the giant flag... Wishing him all the best in his journey.

It's the same size as the flag of Mexico in the Cancun Zona Hotelera... I had never seen a flag so big before...

and why I had to share, luckily for David, it's not too heavy. Hope Cindy is taking care of her sunburn...

That is really cool.

Thanks for sharing it with us. It is so sad how many veterans find themselves homeless after they return.
