FREEPORT — The Freeport Flag Ladies maintained their decade-long tradition of waving the Stars and Stripes and were joined by Gov. Paul LePage, Maine's entire congressional delegation, the commanding general of the state's National Guard and several hundred others in a show of patriotism on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.The group paused twice for moments of silence at the precise times that hijacked jetliners flew into the World Trade Center's twin towers.But the ceremony wasn't all somber. Motorists honked their horns as people flanking both sides of Freeport's Main Street cheered and waved their flags.
