Fred,
Don't think my neighbors have ever figured out why we fly the Marine Corps flag on the 10th and alongside the Army flag the other days. Don't recall seeing any more flags flying than normal today. Sadly with the current crisis no Poppy sales here. Have had 10 uncles and nephews head overseas these past years. You don't want to be near my friend Dave, who worked the airfield in Okinawa 68/70 IIRC and sent many men home, when someone disrespects a fallen soldier.
