It was their mission to create a flag-type banner to honor local military personnel (living or deceased), which would be displayed on each and every lamppost along Main Street and also along the new Parkway, skirting the Susquehanna River.
The response was unbelievable and the sight is awesome!
Yesterday, as I was driving along the south end of Main Street, heading for home, tears filled my eyes when I saw the flags honoring my Dad and Brother.
Dad passed away in 2003. I miss him terribly and I still ask him for advice... and he appeared yesterday when I least expected it.
John is my mentor, even though he lives hundreds of miles away. His advice and love has gotten me through some pretty rough patches in my life.
Semper Fi.
OO-RAH!
