Flags

This is an e mail that my Aunt shared with me, from her neighbor regarding the neighborhood they live in...

"Carla, since you publish the wonderful Fairways Focus Newsletter and seem to keep the email roster for Fairways up to speed, I was wondering if you could make an announcement for me. I belong to a group called the Employers Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), an official organization of the Department of Defense. Currently we have approximately 1800 Nebraska military personnel in Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan as well as other areas of training and readiness preparation in USA camps. Over 60 % of the troops that have fought in Iraq and Afghanistan have been guard or reserve and have spent many weeks and months away from their families, jobs and the familiarity of home. My point is this, I love to see the Big Red flags on people’s homes but believe with the number of Nebraskans overseas, we need to fly our flag each day and night to show our continued support of those who volunteer to serve their country in Harm’s Way. Could we ask our Fairway friends to fly the Stars and Stripes at least through Christmas but mine will be up until the last one comes home. Thanks."
 

My Aunt assured me there will be an American Flag in front of every home.

WOW. So touching.

Are you flying your flag?
