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.

Sending along my greatest of respect and appreciation to your brother and all DoD folks who have honorably served our Nation's armed forces.

Their service and dedication are the foundation upon which our liberty and freedom are built.

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.

My condolences. I thank your brother for his service and, sadly his ultimate sacrifice made to our country to preserve our freedoms.
