Despite political turmoil and serious religious differences in our nation, Lubbock still stands together.
A southwest Lubbock park has been transformed into a patriotic tribute coinciding with September 11th, the nine-year anniversary of the largest terrorist attack on American soil.
American State Bank sponsors the annual field of flags display.
It carries a message that's evolved over the years.
Kathy McDowell, of American State Bank, says, "This will actually be our ninth year to put out the flags. We started with 3,000 and now we've cut it back to about a 1000. We wanted to get away from the sadness of a memorial and make it sort of a field where you can come and remember our loved ones, police officers, firefighters, veterans."
The flag field is at Kastman Park off the South Loop and Indiana Avenue through 6 p-m on Tuesday.
