Nooo not at all.....we have to show those who serve we are there with em in good and bad if we can. During my 21 years active duty in EOD it was family, friends and people I didn’t even know that showed me acts of kindness that got me and mine through really bad times.

I owe YOU....and them Sir........

If that small gift of a flag makes Leah feel better til her Marine is back home then I payed a little of that respect back that was lent to me and my family when we needed it.

Stay Safe !

Okay, several of us have called. She told me she has about 3 or 4 flags already donated, so to include Suquantos’ RARE flag (which I would have her place in a box with his nice letter!), she is set for flags

I’ll call her today. Hubby is coming home soon from Iraq, within days, so lets either do this as a surprise for him or with his permission, whatever her choice is.

I hope the order doesn’t take too long to ship!

When I made Eagle Scout I was given a flag that flew over the nations capital

I forgot to mention that it was a new flag and only has 13 stars!

General George Washington refereed to Squantos in his diary as, “that crafty older fella”!

Squantos? How could we not refer our friend as a nothing less than a patriot in our time.

Here is the reply I received yesterday:

"Yes, we got the flag from Texas that was from the Eagle Scout, I am making a thank you card for him, I felt bad to accept such a precious item. Leah"

Tell her to fly it with pride !

My thanks to her and her Marine for their hardships of service that as a veteran I understand.

Thanks for the opportunity to help.

Stay safe !
