Lend your support

*Design and write thank you cards and letters to your local fire, police departments and the EMT (Emergency Medical Team) to show your thanks and appreciation.

*Paint flags on posters or paper and hang them in public places in your town or school.

*Write letters to the fire fighters, police officers, and rescue workers. Put your letters in public places like your yard or windows. Ask local merchants if they'll put one in their window.

*Bake cookies or collect cards from your friends for the local fire fighters and police officers who work in your hometown to tell them how much you appreciate their hard work. Ask your parents to help deliver them.

*Give out red, white, and blue ribbons that people can wear to show their support in a public place like a shopping mall.

*Post an online message to all of the fire fighters and rescue workers. Read the messages sent by other people.

*Create an American flag and display it in your classroom, on your notebook, in your car, or on a window.
