He was drawn in October of 2001.0:30His drawing is counting ten people.0:32Thank goodness for the American flag.0:35Without it, I am not sure how so many people would be able to identify with each other over a common cause.0:41The highways are now a parade of trumpedly fluttering tiny flags.0:45Truth be known, I have not hung a flag in my living quarters or on my car.0:49I grew up in a very patriotic family, fourth generation military.0:54And it has to be said that the flag was placed in my heart early, and there it flies.1:00In an infectious laugh, Barbara said, he liked simple things, doing projects, sharing tools, helping neighbors with their houses, or he'd go on trips with his brothers, fishing trips.← Location 117Heart Two · Location 118Location 119 →
