Old Glory Found on the Side of the Highway

Simi, CA

* 5-29-06 *

Yes, it's true. I spotted this gorgeous, enormous flag in
the car-pool lane on the 118 freeway. Knowing what it was,
what it meant & the price-tag it bore, I quickly exited,
got back on, exited again & spun around so that I could
stop the car & pick Her up. Crazy? No, I don't think so...

Freedom is not Free. There is no way possible for my family
to Thank all of the Vet's (& their families) who have fought
& sacrificed so that we might live Free. God Bless Them All!

Please see 5-25-06 pic. for the poem of our National Anthem,
in its' entirity, in English, as it was meant to be ~

Thank You from the Bottom of My Heart ~ Purpod

Great photo and story. And I know you risked your life rescuing this flag so your bravery is a testimony to the holiday too.

I salute this flag and you for going back to pick it up. Beautiful image. Long may it wave, though I would like to smack some of our "leaders" with the pole.

Nice composition with the lines of the flag leading in from the corner.
