Flag Backwards on 9/11 Tribute
I can’t believe they screwed this up on the newest symbol of American patriotism! At least the direction of the flag was incorrectly positioned on a technicality.
An American flag plastered on the first steel column for the Freedom Tower at ground zero was removed Wednesday after the builders realized the stars and stripes were on the wrong side.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey removed the decal on the 31-foot column after the media questioned the display, with the 50 stars on the right side instead of the left.
"When it’s laying down, it’s correct," said Bill Dolphin, 73, of Ocala, Florida. "When it gets lifted up into the air, the blue field should be on the other side."
