Bill > HB573

This bill creates a new section in the Kentucky Revised Statutes to establish the "Freedom Flag" as a Flag of Remembrance for September 11th, also known as Patriot Day. The bill provides a detailed description of the flag's design, which symbolically represents different aspects of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Specifically, the flag features a blue background with a white star, five white bars representing the Pentagon, and an outer portion with white and red stripes. The color and design elements honor different groups and events from 9/11, including rescue workers, firefighters, police officers, the Twin Towers, victims at the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and the passengers of the four hijacked planes (American Airlines Flights 11 and 77, United Airlines Flights 93 and 175). The bill allows the Freedom Flag to be flown alongside the American and Kentucky state flags on September 11th as a way to remember and commemorate the events and sacrifices of that day.
