A few weeks later, the flag was taken down by a construction crew and tucked away in storage, where it stayed for nearly seven years. The flag was brought out of storage in 2008 when the New York Says Thank You Foundation headed to Greensburg, Kansas, a town nearly destroyed by a tornado. NYSTY brought the flag with them, sparking a grassroots restoration effort that traveled over 120,000 miles across all fifty states, bringing together thousands of people, and helping America heal and rebuild . . . hand by hand, thread by thread, one stitch at a time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book is the story of that journey, a journey that ended at the opening of the National September 11 Museum, where the flag remains today. Along the way, the flag was restored using pieces of retired flags from every state--including a piece of the flag that Abraham Lincoln was laid on after he was shot at Ford's Theater and threads from the original Star-Spangled Banner flag, which flew at Fort McHenry in the War of 1812 and inspired Francis Scott Key to write the national anthem. The pieces and threads were stitched in by military veterans, first responders, educators, students, community-service heroes, and family members of 9\/11 victims, among others. At each stop, communities came together to remember, to heal, and to unite.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amanda Davis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1546011382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781546011385\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Worthy Kids\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/02\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 9.00w x 0.13d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e513611 \/ 30,000 Stitches: The Inspiring Story of the National 9\/11 Flag\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Amanda Davis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47965499195647,"sku":"9781546011385","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_01942c27-1b2d-40d4-ac37-b7e5e1ee5e0a.jpg?v=1767280979","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/30000-stitches-amanda-davis-9781546011385","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
