On Monday, May 28th, Mitch Mendler, a fire fighter/paramedic, brought a large American flag to the Main Hall of Union Station. He called on passersby to help him unfurl and hold out the flag for ten minutes. Thanks very much to everyone who participated.

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 and USRC is glad that he decided to come to Union Station.
