Hope to see you there. We have permission to raise a 1st National Flag tomorrow for the ceremony. I will be there early to hoist it up the flag pole.

Also spoke with the speaker, and he has defintely confirmed the speech to be no more than 15 minutes.

That must have been an interesting conversation! See you there!

It was! ... and illuminating as well!

Seriously though, it was great day at Salem today.
The weather was perfect as we honored the veterans one more time. I counted about 100 folks in attendance today along with about 25 reenactors present.

Many thanks again to the Ladies of the UDC for keeping this service going throuhg the years!

it really done my old heart good to see those stars and bars flying once again at todays program. keep that flag flying. reb.
