Just received my b.day present from Ev.
It's an American flag, and the following note:
"Hey Mom, what's happening? Here it is, your birthday present. Of course it's a couple of weeks late, but you can understand why - the post office of course, doesn't have same day service, and additionally I wanted to wait until these pictures came back from the printer. So, as the certificates say, the flag was flown over (his camp) on your birthday. There is only one flagpole on each Army post, and for one day this flag flew on (his camp's.) I thought you might get a kick out of it. So, happy belated birthday. Love, Evan.
The pictures are of him standing under the flagpole.
I'll tell you what the certificates say after I've shed a few tears.;^)

Oh, ML....I'll read the certificates after I've shed tears with you! *sniff*
That is the most wonderful birthday present that you could have possibly received, except maybe him walking in the front door. What a sweet son!
I wish you could share the pictures with us.
(((((hugs)))))...to you and to Evan...my heroes, both of you!

Hi Your son is absolutely wonderful. I can imagine you must have tears of love for your son, from that gift. He also had thought to send you pictures of him under the flagpole too! Makes my eyes water. That is the most special gift.
Happy Belated Birthday Mozie. :)
