Today is my dad's birthday and I'd like to share with you
an awesome tribute the family did for him this past weekend.

Bud & Chris arranged to have my dad's memorial flag flown at Cape May , NJ on Sept. 30th.

Each day during the "beach" season, Sunset Beach flies a memorial flag for 24 hours
and honors that person with a short ceremony including:
a bio, "God Bless America", "The National Anthem", and Taps.
Then the lowering of the flag.
This is that morning as we were raising the flag.
Eric said a few touching and funny words about my dad.
The girls cried.
It was a beautiful sight to see his flag flying over the beach.
We all went out to breakfast after and ate pancakes in honor of dad (but no hamburger gravy)
Ken and I had to go home that morning and could not stay for the evening ceremony.
My niece Bethany taped it and Bud put it on Youtube.
A special thanks to Bud & Chris for making this happen!!!
