They fly flags of fallen heroes... any war/conflict where an American has given his/her life. A wonderful tribute to our brave men and women who sacrifice their all for this country.
No, not here in Orange, CA...I've not heard the story you speak about...certainly would like a copy of that email...if you send me a private message I will give you my yahoo addy if you don't mind sharing...thanks!
I think that ceremony is in the New Jersey shore area (beach area)...it's the North Eastern part of the USA. And yeah, it's been going on for 38yrs...I hope they continue on long after his passing. A great tradition that needs to be continued all throughout our great nation as every state has it's heros that need to be honored!
Blessings,
