This Flag that I Love – Ode to Veterans 2019 (2020 Redux)

Covid-19 has changed many things in 2020 so I’m reposting a blog I liked from 2019 (2018, 2017)

This year I was traveling to Atlanta so I missed the Veterans Day Parade, again. I usually enjoy walking down River Street and Broughton Street, in Savannah, Georgia. Flags blowing in the wind, hanging from everywhere, and in the hands of veteran well-wishers. The city really turns out for the celebration. Cameras in hand and folks hold signs, children on shoulders of fathers overlooking the crowded sidewalks to the marching solders.
