Memorial Day Remembrance: No Flag For Tony Again

"Sunday mid to late morning I went to the cemetery to see if the V. F. W.  had put their flags on the veterans graves. And sure enough they had. Except, my dads, again. So later that afternoon Mary and I along with two other family members went to the cemetery to place flowers and my large flag at my dads grave. When we got there someone, I surmise it is one of the bloggers from your blog, thoughtfully had placed a small flag at my dads grave. We placed the large flag and flowers and left. Tuesday late afternoon I returned to the cemetery to pickup the large flag. The V.F.W. Had picked up all their flags earlier in the day sometime, including the flag the blogger had left at dads grave. Too funny huh?" -- Dave Wagner.
