Last winter I replaced my elderly neighbor's flag, which was tattered in the winter wind. It had been installed by her late husband who was an AF vet.
I replaced it with a cheap flag they had at Lowes.
It is starting to look bad again, and it's 9/11.
I went to buy a new cheap flag and surprise her, and while I was looking at my choices, I started to think about the choices that people made on 9/11.
I left with the most beautiful, fully embroidered, USA made American Flag. I suddenly realized they deserved no less, and they never will.
