Letter to the Editor

Patriot's assistance greatly appreciated

To the editor:

"Can I put your flag up for you?"

This question was asked by an individual who introduced himself by the name of Lawrence Gibbons. He said, "I have noticed your flag has not been flying when I pass by and have missed it."

It so happens I have a disability at the present and cannot raise Old Glory as I had been doing everyday the weather allowed. I was surprised and also very proud he had stopped by. I readily answered, "I would be very pleased if you would."

He has kept Old Glory flying since that visit. It tells me we do not have to worry about the Grand Old Flag flying, advertising our freedom, as long as we have caring and patriotic individuals such as Lawrence. I greatly appreciate and am so proud to have met such an individual.
