Grand Ol' Flag

Here are my two big boys, serving on Veteran's day.  We got up at 5:45am and quickly got ourselves dressed and out the door to help the VFW put up dozens of flags at one of our cemeteries.

It was chilly and brisk morning.  But we were proud to do it in honor of our nation's veterans! 

A heartfelt thanks to everyone who has served and is serving now!


We have become especially sensitive to the significance of our flag as Mason, in particular, has been involved with the VFW through the scout troop.  The scouts have had several flag retirement ceremonies. These pictures are from the one they did on September 11.  There wasn't a huge turn out to the ceremonies, but those who did come were touched in many ways.
