Red Bluff >> American flags could be found throughout the city Friday, especially on the corner of Main Street and Antelope Boulevard, where the Red Bluff Tea Party Patriots commemorated Sept. 11 following ceremonies held at the Tehama County Superior Courthouse earlier Friday.
The group stood on the corner with flags and signs to make those passing by remember the lives that were lost on Sept. 11, 2001. People were honking and waving as they drove by the Patriots.
“We are here supporting 9-11, the sheriffs, law enforcement and Benghazi,” said Tea Party Patriot June Cooper. “We’re trying to make people aware of my country and we’re here to support America.”
The group, which meets each Tuesday at the Westside Grange, turned out Friday to continue the remembrance of the lives lost that day.
“This can’t be happening to us,” said Irma Richert. “So sad that people lost their lives. The least we could do is remember them.”
Tom McVay was out with his flag to encourage people to get involved. His main interest was to make people aware of the issues.
The Red Bluff Fire Department’s American flag flew high in the center of the city as smaller flags lined the streets to remind the community of the day and the patriotism that it spawned.
