US veteran stays firm on American flag

Cleveland Daily Banner - 4/8/2018

To The Editor:

I am very glad to hear from [Bradley County Commissioner] Dan Rawls in regard to the veterans, the bureaucracy, the debts we have and the unborn babies.

I should have written earlier [because] it has been going on for awhile, Dan.

The flag code clearly states how, and when, the exception is. Again, the flag should never be used in that manner in a local election.

I am proud of the veterans you know. I consider all of them heroes and friends.

I still say prayers for the ones that didn't come home.

I am still, and I still claim to be, a military veteran.

I am a life member of Vietnam Veterans Chapter 596 (in Cleveland), a life member of DAV Paul Jones Memorial Chapter 25, and SAR Cleveland chaplain, Col. Benjamin Cleveland.

I am very proud of our flag.
