As usual on the 4th of July, I fly uncle Terry’s flag and celebrate with a BBQ and Burgers Party.
The flag has special meaning to me, as I inherited it when my grandmother passed away.
I remember, that when I was a young boy, about 8 or so, I had visited my Grandmother one summer and saw the flag. Living in Switzerland, I asked, if I could have it and she explained to me, that she had received it, when her son Terry died in vietnam and that she would keep it.
After she passed away, I asked my uncles and aunts, if I could have it, as I would really enjoy having a US flag at home and this one undoubtedly had high family value. Everyone agreed and I got the flag. It was just a few days later, that I actually realized, that I had seen the flag many many years ago as a small boy.
I have been flying it every 4th of July since I got it.
Of course, the BBQ was a lot of fun too 🙂
