MINOT, N.D. -- Airmen from Minot Air Force Base joined members of the Minot community including local firefighters in the unfurling of the National 9/11 flag at Minot State University, Sept. 6. Destroyed in the attack and stitched back together by disaster survivors, the National 9/11 flag contains pieces of retired American flags from all 50 states and exemplifies the American people's resilience.
