That's such a cute picture! Yes, he does look vey series about holding the flag :) BTW I see the one boy in the seated row holding the left side of the plaque has already learned to make funny faces at the camera when taking pictures--he must be the mischief maker in the class :)

Looks like I bet he is! I don't know many of the kids, though...

Do you know the story behind the flags? Several people here in the Hole contributed several hundred dollars in cash and items that I sent over to Afghanistan to a chaplain friend of mine...he disbursed the items to the troops of the 82nd Airborne.

Much to our astonishment, all the "contributors" ended up getting these certificates, and a flag that flew over Kandahar Air Field. Well, one person didn't...hers got lost in the mail, apparently.

Read about it Here!

Ecurb...is there a page about the flags? Did that ever get off the ground?
