Ground Zero Flag at Epcot

[Sean23]

This flag was found by a fireman at ground zero, it is on display at the American Pavillion.

How long is it going to be on exhibit?

 

[CAPTAIN HOOK]

Is it in WDW as a mark of respect to those who lost their lives on Sept 11th, or is Disney planning its own memorial ?

 

[Fievel]

I kinda doubt that disney will ever do a big memorial, because, as you know, they don't like to dwell too much on the negative.

Pretty cool though...a good tribute.

That is very cool... :animwink:

that's wierd..is it just me or the WTC flag that they brought out in the opening ceromonies of the olympics was different? I think it was teared in half.

I do not know how long it will be on exhibit, but will be going to Epcot again in the next few days and find out if it is still there.

The letter with the flag said it was found at the WTC site, maybe there was more than one flag.

I am assuming that this was another flag that they found at the site. Not the one that was brought to the olympics.

I think that it's really nice that they honor it like that!

Wow, I wish I was at EPCOT when they had this flag on display. I would have loved to see it and get a pic of it...thanks Sean23 for the pics.

This needs a BIG BUMP

Yes the WTC flag is still on display! It is not the one that was flying over the WTC. It is one that was discovered in the rubble. I have heard that it will be on display until (I think) Feb 2004?

It is not a big display, nor are there big signs telling about it. If you don't know to look for it, you probably wouldn't see it. As you go into the American pavillion, it is on the right - on the right wall. This was my one must-see in Epcot. I'm glad I did. I got choked up just walking up to it though.

I heard it was part of a moving exhibit and will be there for about a year before moving to it's next location.
