>hey guys--
>I just really have to say i think it is SO COOL what walmart, target, 
>super k, best buy, media play, and most of the other big chain stores are 
>doing to honor the fallen heroes of 9/11/01. I didn't see this myself, so 
>don't quote me on this, but my boyfriend steven said he heard from his 
>muslim friend cinque (i know, i know)  that mr. dan rather was talking to 
>david letterman last night and reporting on the big flag giveaway that's 
>going on all over the country. if dan really said this, it must be true, 
>beaues dan rather never lies.
