Even though I am an Aussie, aesthetically, I think your country has the worlds best looking flag! The colours are beautiful.

My sincere sympathy, Richard, My uncle recently passed. he was 98, and was at the Battle of Omaha Beach. He never spoke much about it, but, like your brotherinlaw, he represented the best in Humanity. We are all travelers in life, and we seek what has been lost--- our sense of pupose!

My condolences once again for your family's loss, Richard. It's never easy... It's a sad statement of our society that it takes so long to care for those who made such great sacrifices for our freedom. They did the full honors at my dad's service - a beautiful and moving ceremony. It always brings the tears when the lone bugler plays Taps..
