						On 
						Sunday volunteers gathered on the lawn of the Logan 
						County Courthouse in Lincoln to install 2,977 flags as a 
						tribute to the lives lost on September 11, 2001. 
						 
						The end result was a sea of red, white and blue on two 
						sides of the courthouse. The flags are spread in neat 
						even rows from the corner of Broadway and Kickapoo 
						Streets southward to Pekin Street and east to McLean.
