PS: The “ Old Glory “ on the picture is not a “ simple “ Old Glory, this flag has a lot of history behind, this flag was welcoming hundreds of returning WW2 Veterans visiting their former battle fields.

This flag was on several ceremonies, and meetings, Lanzerath,Büllingen,Elsenborn ridge,St. Vith, ( in St. Vith, twice she was leading a parade of returning Veterans).

Krinkelt-Rocherath ,Monschau.

She was given with a group West-Point cadets to West-Point and was flying there,and was sent back to me.

The flag was on Military cemeteries, Hamm ( Luxembourg ) Henri-Chapelle Neuville & Condroz, Flanders-Field ( Belgium )

Also on the beaches in France Arromanches and Omaha beach.

She was welcoming returning Veterans at the airport in Brussels ( do You remember dear Morris ) and Luxembourg,in Luxembourg, I was climbing up on the airport roof, today security people will take you in directly.

All the times I was the proud “ flag bearer “.

So as You can read,this Old Glory is a historical one, each team If I see the flag flying, a movie goes thru my mind.


With Love, from Belgium.
