The Flight for Freedom will return to New York for the tenth anniversary of 911. New York native and co-organizer Jack McGowan recalls marching in the Columbus Day Parade just days after the attacks: “And New Yorkers time and time again absolutely saying ‘We love you Ore-gone’; and how can you correct someone with tears in their eyes, calling your state ‘Ore-gone’? All you can do is give them a hug; and that what we want to do again.” The flight departs for New York on September 8th. it will include a Peace and Unity Concert on September 11th.
