the new veterans flagpole on a blustery day
04/18/08

the old flagpole honoring our local veterans who laid down their lives in our service blew down in a bad storm in 2005. the community held fund-raisers and pestered the politicians until enough money was gotten to raise this new beauty. my old head can't remember right now for certain but i believe its 60 feet (don't ask me to do the metric conversion right now either...lol) tall which gives you an idea of the size of the flag. i pass by it at least 5 or 6 times a week and still get that "AH!" catch in my throat when i see it and pause to remember the sacrifices of those who serve us, past and present. this shot doesn't do it justice but i haven't been able to shoot one yet that does.
