A month ago, I came home from the Veterans Day parade and, to my surprise, found a Navy pennant flying in my lawn. It was a gift from the folks across the street. Rick and Cheri are good neighbors, solid citizens, a proud Army family with three sons serving in the National Guard.
The best way to show appreciation for such a gift is to display it proudly. Our prairie winds, unfortunately, often prohibit this.
But today was calm, so I'm showing my thanks by flying the banner...
