Krey will be the one standing on the bridge over the highway waving an American flag and smiling every time motor
Krey, of Yukon, is a retired staff sergeant who served in both the active-duty military and Oklahoma National Guard.
He was also a first responder in 1995 after the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.
His plan is to stand on a different highway pedestrian bridge each morning until Sept. 11 for about an hour and wave the flag.
“I'm reminding people 9/11 is coming up,” Krey said Friday as he stood on a bridge across Interstate 40 on Czech Hall Road. “The soldiers give me the freedom to do this — to stand on this bridge and wave this flag.”
