Page 10 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, SEpTEmbER 9, 2022 9/11 ANNIVERSARY | FROM PAGE 9 stopping to be part of something meaningful,” said Karen Worcester, Executive Director, Wreaths Across America. “I hope people will join us this year, both on the anniversary of 9/11, as well as each Tuesday moving forward. This fl ag waving has taken on new meaning for us all and given a spark of hope for unity and patriotism during this diffi - cult time in our country.” Following the events of 9/11, three patriotic women (Elaine Greene, Joann Miller and Carmen Foote) were moved to fi nd an old American fl ag they had stored at home and stand on a hill in Freeport, Maine, waving that fl ag to honor victims. These women became nationally known as “The Freeport Flag Ladies,” and proudly hoisted the Stars and Stripes every Tuesday morning for the following 18 years. After they retired on September 11, 2019, (their last 9/11 remembrance) the following Tuesday, September 17, 2019, Wreaths Across America took the helm and continued the weekly fl ag-waving tradition along US Route 1 in Jonesboro, Maine.
