For the second year in the row the Gear Up Foundation is honored to memorialize and pay tribute to the men and women who answered the call on December 7th, 1941 & September 11th, 2001. These two attacks on American soil changed our nation forever, as well as the countless families who suffered the loss of loved ones. Our “American Tribute Flags” displaying the names of those who died on 9/11 and in the blue field some of the first responders who died afterwards due to their service at Ground Zero, were demonstrated at Ground Zero on September 11th 2012 will be flown again in special honor of the Gear Up Foundation from the flag staff of the USS BOWFIN (SS 287) moored at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii at our memorial this year.
