Letter to the editor

Magnificent is not adequate to describe the hundreds of flags lining the roadways in the Maple Hill Cemetery this Memorial weekend. The sun shining, the blue sky, our nations flags wafting in the breeze filled my heart with joy, pride and gratitude to those who defended our nation in time of wars, and sadness for the lives lost, the wounded and sacrifices made for the freedoms we enjoy each and every day. Thank you seems inadequate, but thank you to all who have served, for all you have sacrificed for this nation. And thank you to the American Legion and the VFW for continuing to serve by purchasing, displaying and maintaining these flags for us to see and enjoy.
