Claim: Brad Meltzer told the story of the missing flag, four days later a former Marine returned it, and it is now displayed at the  National September 11 Memorial & Museum
Evidence: Using his TV show, Brad Meltzer's Lost History, he told the story of the missing flag and asked Americans for their help in returning it. Four days later, a former Marine walked into a fire station in Everett, Washington, said that he saw Meltzer's TV show, and that he now wanted to return the flag. Meltzer unveiled the flag at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York, where it is now on display.
