An American flag flies proudly at the Company K firm base within the city of Fallujah before a ceremony dedicated in honor to the people of New York City who were killed in terrorist attacks on 9-11. The flag was sent from the chief of New York police, to be flown in the city of Fallujah, after being flown over ground-zero in New York.
