Flags for Veterans

 Last week we witnessed flag delivery high on the hill where my parents are buried. 

A few vehicles parked at the bottom of the hill and children emerged with flags. 


My brother asked one of the little girls for a flag since Dad's flag holder is not at the grave yet. 


My Grandmother's Gold Star flag holder on the left and my Dad's flag on the right. 

Since we were there last week my Mother's day of death has been inscribed on the headstone.

  4. Honoring our Vets is very meaningful. It's been awhile, but I used to belong to a group that flagged Veterans sections at cemeteries.

  5. My grands deliver flags every Memorial Day. I think that is a great way to honor the veterans and their families.

  8. I spent this past Thursday morning putting flags out in our cemeteries. It is a labor of love. I was supposed to be out this morning picking them all up for next year but I have caught a massive head cold over the weekend so left that job to other kind souls.
