As I returned the Buzzy’s Country Store flag to full mast following last week’s lowering of it in memory of the shooting victims, I thought about the 9/11 flag mystery. It made me wonder if it had ever been found. Here is what I learned.
First the background story from this 2015 article in a stamp-related story:

Eventually I landed on several articles discussing how the flag was finally located. Seems that a former Marine named Brian (Browne not Barnhill) turned the flag in out in Seattle, Washington (click here for article and video.)
However, none of the articles I cited here stated just where the original flag currently is. I think it is now in the 9/11 Museum in New York but I’m not real sure. If any of you have better luck finding out for sure where the 9/11 flag is, let me know.
Maybe Bruce knows where it is and his 9/11 song here is really about raising the flag up again.
