This review is from: Glory: A Celebration of the American Flag 2002 Calendar (Calendar)

This calendar was put out following the September 11 tragedy, and captures scenes of both the devastation and the resulting fervor of patriotic spirit that enveloped the country. The pictures from the tragedy do not contain any shots of people hurt or facing harm, which could be potentially upsetting, but does contain imagery of the Pentagon and World Trade Center aftermath. The most stirring pictures are those of Americans being proud of who they are, including firemen and everyday citizens who decided it was time to dust off their flags and hoist them once again. All in all, this is a very timely and poignant reminder of what happened, and who we are. It would make a very good gift to remind others as well.
