"This flag received NATIONAL Media attention when its current owner, David Nicholson, who owned an auction house in Orange, Virginia, discovered it in early 2002. Upon discovery, the flag and its story were featured on major News Networks such as CBS, ABC, FOX NEWS, and CNN!! Included in this auction is an original VHS tape provided by CNN featuring their show, AMERICAN STORIES, which did a piece on the Flag during the first Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

David has received many offers (exceeding $100,000) from around the world to sell the flag. Originally, he declined.... and instead framed the flag and loaned it to several Colleges, Universities, Schools, Fire Departments, and Museums throughout the United States.

In March 2004 David was diagnosed with Renal Cell Carcinoma (Kidney Cancer) and has been battling the disease ever since. On July 12th, 2004, David was given 3 months to live by his doctors. At age 44, and with three children (ages 6, 10 & 13), David was not ready to submit to this disease. He has been undergoing high doses of a costly new treatment that are helping to save David's life."

God help us.

1. More proof that we don't need National Health Care.

It's why I like living and working in Korea. Korea has that inferior National Health Care. Yep. A guy like that wouldn't have had to part with something like that over here.
