Dearborn Moderator United States 94636 Posts	Posted 05/25/2025 10:03 pm Every year, on Memorial, I am reminded of the sacrifice my brother gave while serving in the US Navy b.1969 - d.1994 This is the flag that was placed over his coffin I bring it up with me every year and place it on his grave on a special support frame I made to keep it off the ground (the large folded one). The smaller one is placed by numerous volunteers to put a flag on EVERY grave. the 3 rocks are ones I paint and place them each year. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6449 Posts	Posted 05/26/2025 11:01 am That's a nice tribute, Dearborn. Sorry about your brother. My dad is extremely active in our local veteran's organization. He was out flagging veteran graves earlier this week with fresh flags, and helped to plan and run the Memorial Day parade and ceremony today. Report this Post to the Staff
