H.K. Edgerton (here) is a friend of mine .
Such a great guy . Fantastic walker too!
He once walked past my business in his uniform carrying the flag. Everybody in the office rushed out to the front parking area to greet him. He was very nice. I believe he had walked from South Carolina through Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi holding that beautiful flag high. What a man!
Met him once while he was standing honor guard in Asheville one Memorial Day. One of the most dignified gentlemen I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.
