My brother, Russ, served in the Gulf War in Iraq as a tank driver in the Army 1st Calvary. In his honor, my folks purchased a flag for the Veterans Walk of Flags in Fergus Falls. Flag # 1447 recently flew for the first time on September 19th, POW/MIA Day. It is an extremely impressive site to see almost 1500 flags out on display!
So a big solute and thank you to all our soldiers and especially to Army SPC Russell C Sell, Gulf War Vet.
There are 11 days each year the Walk of Flags are put up in the parks around town and I look forward to seeing Russ' flag among them.
We salute those of you who have served and continue to serve our country to preserve our freedom! Today is a snowy day in Fergus Falls, so unfortunately flag #1447 was not able to fly as part of the Veteran's Walk of Flags. May we all offer a moment of silence to remember and honor those who gave their life for our country.
Happy Veteran's Day, Russ!
