On Monday, May 28th at 10:00 am, Mitch Mendler, who is a fire fighter/paramedic, will be bringing a large American flag to the Main Hall of Union Station. He will be joined by some Boy and Girl Scouts and will also call on passersby to help him unfurl and hold out the flag for ten minutes. Mr. Mendler has dedicated much of his life to commemorating the lives lost in 9/11. In an effort to do so, he is on a mission to display a large American flag in notable buildings throughout the United States.

After the event in Union Station, Mr. Mendler and the Scouts will be carrying the flag in the Memorial Day parade.
