ON AUGUST 7, 2010 THE SUFFERING FLAG WAS UNVAILED BY CONGRESSMAN TOM PERRIELLO IN CHASE CITY, VIRGINIA. THIS NATIONAL TREASSURE WAS MOVED SHORTLY THEREAFTER, TO BE ON DISPLAY, AT THE CAPITO BUILDING IN WASHINGTON, DC. THE FLAG IS CURRENTLY HANGING IN THE CAPITOL UNTIL A PERMANENT LOCATION IS FOUND. THE PHOTOGRAPH ABOVE DEMONSTRATES THE PROFOUND EFFECT THE FLAG HAD ON THE CONGRESSMAN UPON HIS UNVAILING OF THE "SUFFERING FLAG". IT IS AN HONOR TO HAVE CONGRESSMAN TOM PERRIELLO OF THE FIFTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA UNVAIL THIS FLAG AND I WILL FOREVER BE GREATFUL FOR THE CONGRESSMAN ALLOWING MY PAINTING TO HANG IN THE HALLS OF POWER AT THE CAPITOL BUILDING IN WASHINGTON, DC. IT WAS FITTING THAT A CONGRESSMAN WITH SUCH HEART, HUMILITY AND NOBLE INTENSIONS WOULD FOR EVER BE LINKED NOT ONLY TO GREAT POLICY BUT TO A PATRIOTIC PAINTING THAT WILL FOREVER REMEMBER THE EVENTS OF 9/11.
