I think of the years of service that I put in as a Navy pilot. putting my own rear end on the line. day after day. But I was lucky. I remember escorting the body of a fellow pilot to his home and presenting the flag to his widow. I remember what that flag meant to my mother. an immigrant from Yugoslavia. who could barely speak English. We always had a flag very proudly displayed in our home because. to my mother. that flag meant the freedom and opportunity of her new country. I have not forgotten these things and I never will forget them.
