Flags over I-65 9/11/11

[ejm874]

Did anyone else see the individuals holding flags on a couple (that I saw) overpasses on I-65 today? I wish I had noted the exact mile markers, but I believe the first was just north of Lafayette and the second was around the 200MM.
At least a half dozen people stood on each overpass, holding flags over traffic both NB and SB. It was a simple yet pretty powerful showing of patriotism, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who felt overwhelmed and maybe a little emotional as I passed underneath. A huge +1 to these individuals for their time and love of country.
In following, another HUGE +1 to all of our first responders and service members and their families for the sacrifices they make for each of us - you are true heros and I am eternally grateful for your service.

God Bless America!

yep. Saw a few overpasses that were "manned". That's only in quotes because I think I saw a woman on one, too.

And on another note, since when did driving 75mph all of a sudden make me the slowest vehicle on the road? Sheesh!

I read about it on the Indystar but I swear it said I69. Maybe they did both interstates. Too lazy to go double check.

I might be wrong. Ive been wrong once before.

I saw a guy doing this on 56th street bridge over 465 on my way home from ECPR.

I remember seeing this done right after 9/11/01. We were on motorcycles, and went under the underpass- there were several people holding a huge flag. I'm not sure what hwy it was, somewhere in west/central IN. It was really cool though.

They didn't show any pics or video......but they did mention this on Fox News Channel on Monday. Very cool!

Saw the same guy, then another farther south on 465, don't remember which overpass it was.
