&ldquo;Flags on the 48&rdquo; is an annual memorial event in commemoration of the September 11 attacks of 2001.

History
On September 15, 2001, a group of six hikers climbed up Mt Liberty in the White Mountains of New Hampshire with rope, a US Flag, and lengths of PVC tubing to use as a flagpole. They flew the flag from the summit as a memorial to the events and victims of 9/11. This grassroots effort soon turned into an annual event, growing to encompass all 48 of the Four-thousand footers

Schedule
The event takes place on the 11th if it is a Sunday, or on the closest Saturday. The flag is flown from noon until 2pm.
