STAFF Sergeant Robert Furbush, USAF, (left), and SENIOR AIRMAN Jason Fields, USAF, 39th Wing Honor Guard members, Incirlik Air Base, Turkey, retire the American flag. The flag was flown at half-staff since September 11, 2001 as a sign of respect for those lost in the recent terrorist attack. Shortly after 8 AM (EST) on September 11, 2001 in an attempt to frighten the American people, terrorist mounted attacks on the World Trade Centers Twin Towers and at the Pentagon. Hijackers deliberately flew civilian airliners into the buildings, killing themselves, the passengers and thousands on the ground. Starting Sept. 22, 2001 the flag will be displayed at full staff
