SEE my post yesterday regarding the flags. There's more info on there now. Thanks. Tom

 

My lady and I are attending the national Gathering of the Patriot Guard in Ogden, Utah, at the end of July. They are going to have a massive flag field, one for each Fallen Hero in the War on Terror. Below please find a link concerning sponsoring a flag for one of our nation's Fallen Heroes. If you click on the link, and then the EXCEL file, you can find the list of soldiers by state. You may have to scroll back and forth to read the whole page.

If you have been on a Patriot Guard mission that touched your heart this is something you can do. Or did you know a soldier that died in The War on Terror?

You can sponsor a flag and they will mail the flag to you after the event for $30.00 (flag and postage). We would like to see all of the service men and women from across America that lost their lives in Iraq or Afghanistan have a flag sponsored. You can pick the name that you would like to sponsor, or let them pick a name for you. They will mail the flag to you after the Gathering of the Guard is over.

You can't imagine the site of thousands of flags flying in the wind unless you have seen it, so here is a picture link from Sturgis 2006, when we had a field of nearly 4,000 flags at the entrance to the Buffalo Chip campground. Sadly, this year the total will approach 5,000.

Step up and honor a soldier. Many people are doing this, and then presenting the flag to the family of the soldier they sponsored.
