:wall:Huh, you want to know what really displays "patriotism" then go to my mother's house and see the small white flag withn a gold star on it hanging in a window or to her bedroom and see the triangular mahogany box with a neatly folded flag in it and her sons picture next to it. It was the flag that draped his coffin at 19.

That is F*cking patriotism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That little gold star chokes me up every time I see one. Patriotism and sacrifice of the highest order, Steve. My Grandmother had one on her mantel, along side a photo of a very young bomber pilot.... those gold stars....

That is the ultimate sacrifice Steve,
not only for your brother but your whole family. :(
