Learn some respect for those who did what you didn’t have the stomach for.

C’mon Guardian, no need to encourage crazy ideas.

Since the triangle fold is standard for storage of a US Flag, the casket reference while meaningful is not so accurate.

Why doesn’t EVERYONE already have a flag? Replace a faded one? great!

For Veteran’s day, and every day, I wish people would respect the flag and take the time to learn how to display it, remind others how to do it correctly and treat it with the respect it deserves to honor those who appreciated getting one on their casket http://www.usflag.org/flagetiquette.html

L. Evans, and all others who make today special. I’m traveling but able to join a small community luncheon for vets. That’s nice.

Some of us strung our P-38 on our dog tag chain.

In Idaho, you can now get “Veteran” printed on your next driver’s license (in case you were in the A.F. like me and didn’t need to carry a P-38).

I am not a veteran and cannot serve.

I thank you for your service and appreciate the blog.

Take care
