Well said Larry, I honor the flag every chance I get. I had 3 brothers in WWII, one of them was called back into Korea, and another one joined and was in the Pacific in the Korean War, he stayed in 25 years and did 2 tours in Vietnam. Honoring the Flag is a big thing to him and all of my family. My poor Mother had 3 sons and 2 brothers in WWII , she told me later that there was hardly ever a minute that she didn't worry about them.
My brother that served 25 years is still living, he was head of the American Legion in Howard for many years, my wife and I drove from Midland Texas to help but a small Flag and a poppy wreath on every veterans grave at the cemetery in Howard, on Memorial Day we help line the roads into the cemetery with big flags and then they put on a Flag raising ceremony. Everyone I know in Howard honors the flag in a big way. I had 3 Nephews and a brother in Vietnam, One Nephew was killed and one wounded. I have 2 of my brothers casket Flags and I am honored to have the. For my 3 brothers that were in WWII I have Presidential Memorial Certificates signed by President George W Bush, I have them framed and displayed.
