Tomorrow my family and I will be planting flags on the graves of those resting at Calverton Cemetery on Long Island. It is a Girl Scout tradition that my wife's troop was asked to participate in this year.

My two little girls will visit their grand father's and uncle's graves.

I pray tomorrow they come back with a better understanding of what these men and women sacrificed for all of us.



May God Bless and Protect our Troops and President as they bring the fight to the enemies of Freedom....

Thank you to you and your family for placing the flags on the graves. Please let your family know how much I appreciate that you do this. Two of my Uncle's are buried at Calverton Cemetery. My Dad is buried in Pinelawn, LI National Cemetery, and I will go there on Monday. Every year when I go, as I drive in and see all the flags, I cry. Bless all of our Veterans.

I want to thank you and your family for honoring our veterans by placing flags. I just lost my Dad on April 1st and he is in Calverton. I would like to hope you might be the ones to place his flag. I cannot go there yet. I can't bear it. God bless you and all our servicemen and women, past and present.
