On September 11, the anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, students at Wood-ruff High School displayed flags from their vehicles.

In accordance with a district policy, apparently designed to prevent the display of Confederate Battle Flags, the high school principal removed U. S. flags from the vehicles resulting in complaints to  WORD Talk Radio’s Russ Cassell Show.

The District Superintendent made a public apology and Cassell a week later gave the community an opportunity to display their flags and demonstrate their patriotism by holding a flag rally in the Woodruff Bi-Lo parking lot.

Cassell, known for his uncompromising views on family, faith and freedom,  broadcast his 8 am until Noon program from the site. The event was attended by hundreds of individuals, some stayed and others passed through, displaying their flags and honking their horns.

It was emphasized that the rally was not a protest or demonstration against the actions of the school principal, but an opportunity for flag wavers to proudly wave their flags.

A local resident who  participated in the Flag Rally said it was a positive, memorable, historical  event never before experienced in  their community.
