Any condo group's ( and or any other group ) that would try in any way to disallow the display of our American Flag, needs to be brought before a Military Court and a' mediately deported. Put them directly on frontline, to delouse, tick and flea them.
One of my very first projects at the camp, back in 1992 was to restore an old rusted flagpole that took some work with an oxyacetylene torch to take apart, repair, paint and restore. The camp was high on a hill up and just off Paugus Bay, and there was always a pleasant breeze, enough in fact to ware out some O'L Glories, but none were lost to us old faithfuls!
MyFamily has a very long and prestigious history of defending our Country, and in fact goes back to the Revolutionary War.
Now, ( Under unclassified info ), I was approached by the Army at 17 years old to visit a Local National Guard seminar being held in East Bridgewater Ma. at the time. During this seminar, there was an Army Commander General , and I got to speak words with him, and also, he was a ( less than what I would put my trust in, at the time ), and I left that conversation telling him to draft me.
So, low and behold when I turned twenty, I got an official notice to report to Boston for induction ceremonies that put me into the United States Army.
I was so proud to get to serve our Country. We were all stuffed on ( an very overloaded Super four reciprocal engine powered Constellation aircraft, and we were running out of runway, when suddenly the right wing caught fire, and eventually it blew out. I think that the pilot was more headstrong in delivering us to Fort Dix NJ for BOOTCamp!
Yes, and even today, it ain't what Y'All read in the news papers!
So, I successfully graduated from Boot-camp, got orders to go to Fort Gordon Georgia for AIT ( Advanced Individual Training ) and I had my mind made up that I was going to Vietnam to fight for our very own butt's.
By the time I graduated from AIT, I found myself in the Signal Corps, and received Orders to go directly to Germany where I was and appointed to an isolated radio relay site on the East Boarder there where and we got to lookout and see every day, the Russian missiles pointed directly at US. Now let me splain, even though we used what they call ( line of sight antennas ) back in them days, it was an every day Tums or pepto'abismal day for Us, as they could find and lock on to our signal. We were well aware that we had less than a machine gunner's life expectancy on the front line of any war, should the _ _ _ _ hit the fan. Less than 6 seconds, should anyone want to do the math.
