Wreaths Across America executive director joins 'Fox and Friends' on Sept. 6, 2022. (Fox News) to discuss the 9/11-influenced tradition of raising American flags every Tuesday in Maine.
The director also called on Americans to raise their own flags across the country and submit videos to Wreaths Across America via Facebook using the hashtag #flagsacrossamerica.
The flag-raising was first started by three women who stood on the side of the road and raised their American flags on Sept. 11, 2001.
The women committed to the tradition for 19 years until they retired.
Wreaths Across America then "took over the charge," the director said, to carry on the message that "we can always look to [the flag] to pull us together."
