In Memory Of...

[mtbbrian]

I hung a flag at my home yesterday, it was something I have wanted to do for a long time.
It's not exactly what I had in mind for such a thing, but it will have to do. If I could, I would have biggest flag on the tallest pole in my neighborhood.
My wife and I bought this flag as part of a unit fundraiser nearly two years ago. Attached to each pole was a yellow ribbon with name, rank, home town, place and date of death on it.
So I hung my flag in memory of Richard Eaton of Connecicut, he died in Iraq on 12 August 2003.
God Bless you Richard. God Bless your family.

A moment of silence...

[almo]

Don't weep for me
O' land of the free,
When it was my time to fall
'Twas for my country's call
'Twas for the land that I loved
That I gave my all,
And for the land that I loved
I did freely give,
And in her freedom and her
courage
I'll continue to live.


Hoo Ahh!

This is a wonderful tribute. Thank you for posting it today. I was very touched.

I'm going out to get a flag pole today since my nice fiberglass one split down at the bottom from a big windstorm.
