My fil died on Labor Day and I think I am right now particularly sensitive and grateful to our veterans. My fil was a prisoner of war for a time at the end of the WWII.

Then I'm doubly glad I found and posted that photo today. I'm proud our current Commander-in-Chief signed that bill to create the Medal of Honor flag, and that the flags are only presented at special ceremonies. Turning the USS Constitution is a very special ceremony, indeed.

Sigh. Time is a cruel master. I'm glad your FIL's medals have been passed down in the family with the honor they, and he, deserves.
