Saturday morning, Lou and I went to the annual Fall Flea Market at Putty Hill Park. As we neared the park we saw American Flags in front of Parkville Police Station and Fire Station. We then noticed the line of flags on Putty Hill Avenue. They lined both sides of the street for probably close to a mile...between Harford Road and Old Harford Road
in Baltimore County. This was quite an inspiring sight.
We live just 2 miles from this section of Putty Hill Avenue and did not know of this yearly event in memory of the victims of September 11th.

Parkville, where they will ride through the “Path of Honor” which will
be 2,977 American flags set to honor each and every victim and hero of
9/11.

in support of the riders along the ride route from 11:30 am –12:30 pm
