My favorite possession is a 48 star flag my dad took down on the morning they were returning to Pearl from Korea, the Officer of the Day told him to replace it and keep it to show his grand kids. Dad said it had been in a couple of battles and men died under it. It is half frayed so there is only the blue field and stripes below, it is beautiful.
