Soldiers Memorial is now LEED-certified to the Gold level, an impressive feat for a historic building.

Under One Flag Tells Patrotic Story Of “Flag Man's” Tribute To Fallen Soldiers
To mark the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, a group of volunteers acknowledged the fallen by posting 2,996 American flags at a city park in St. Louis, Missouri. One of the flags honored New York City firefighter Michael Weinberg, a first responder who died at Ground Zero. In a twist of fate, Michael’s flag went unnoticed at auction after the event but, as a result, would make a remarkable journey through the Midwest. Under One Flag: A Journey from 9/11 to the Heartland (Reedy Press) chronicles this journey with poignant, richly illustrated stories of American heroism and the conviction of those intent on paying tribute. Key among the latter are grassroots organizer Rick Randall and also Larry Eckhardt, known as “The Flag Man” for placing flags along the routes of soldiers’ funerals. Through Larry’s efforts, Michael’s flag would fly in Preston, Iowa, to honor Marine Corporal Zach Reiff, who died serving his country in Afghanistan. Under One Flag shows how lives interweave when compassion serves as the common tie. It is the collective story of people who want nothing but give everything. Under One Flag: A Journey from 9/11 to the Heartland is available wherever books are sold.
Amy George Rush is an independent journalist based in St. Louis. She is editor of a local magazine and an international newsletter. Tom Rollins is a commercial freelance photographer whose work has received national awards. He is a Marine veteran of the Vietnam War. Rick Randall is senior vice president of development for Pace Properties and the man behind the 2011 memorial “America’s Heartland Remembers 9.11.”
