Today, I had an unusual experience. We live in a small condo community and have a beautiful American flag and pole at the entrance. Two of the stripes were torn and separating from each other. I was asked to sew and repair it which I did. I took incredible care and did the best job I could, I felt reverent while I mended it and honestly thought of all the sacrifices throughout history for the flag. Included in my thoughts were the slaves and their endurance as well as spirit.. I thought of the stripes I was sewing back together to make it whole again, not damaged but repaired.........if only it was that easy.

As a responsible veteran, I might refer you to:

Don’t worry, ‘you are in code’.
