Thank you. I will pass that along.

Yesterday I received a "belated" birthday gift from him..........the flag that was flown over his base camp on the day my birthday, along with a certificate of authenticity, a certificate of appreciation for supporting the troops, and 5 pictures of him, including 2 of him standing next to the flagpole on the day of my birthday, under the very flag which I was now holding in my hands.

Made me cry, it did.:)

Oh, that is a wonderful gift! Having it flown on your birthday and having the pictures of him next to the flag pole make it really special.

My nephew (freeper Scubachick's husband) who was stationed in Balad gave us a flag and a certificate for Christmas that was flown in Iraq on October 5th. Ours was flown on a reconnaissance mission. We got all choked up too. It was the most special gift we got this Christmas.
