Friday Flags at The Prospect CT Post Office

Ed I agree that it is very unlikely that the Southeast Asian service people are still alive, and that those families will not have closure until their remains are returned.

Thank you for sharing, and I agree about the POWs.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Good morning, Ed... nice photo. I, for one, have always loved to see the POW/MIA flag... maybe because I came of age in college during the height of the conflict and protests in the 1960's. We should never forget... and we should never stop being ashamed of how we treated returning soldiers from that war.

Good morning Ed. Must say that we can luckily get older but we must never forget. Enjoy your day.

Ed, that does look like you had a stiff breeze that day, and a great photo!

Nice photo-op Ed. Gives one pause to again think about our soldiers who came back and those who didn't!

Top of the morning Ed.  Ole Glory waving with the wind always takes on a special look.  Thanks for sharing.  mdm

Good Saturday afternoon, Ed.

Have an outstanding weekend.

Hi Ed,

I do remember how prominent those MIA flags were in the 80s.  We will never know what happened to them. I pray for the families. 

HI Ed- I always love seeing our Flag flying but how nice to see the POW/MIA flag as well. I used to see it more often but I fear that the further we get from that period, people may forget about those who served then. 

it's important to remember those who have sacrificed much so we may remain free.

Ed:

Great shot on a beautiful day of Old Glory and the POW/MIA flag. Thank you for the memory.

My uncle Robert was a MIA/POW who perished during the Korean War, Ed. Hope in my lifetime, his remains will be brought back home to a final resting place. As generations pass, many of the memories of military loved ones lost, go along with them.

Thanks for the post!

Ed Silva - It is a grand old Flag to be proud of for sure. I like the looks of your Post Office. The two flags look extra special because both have historical significance. My Flower Mound Post office fly's both flags, like yours does. It always gives me a moment to pause and keep POW's and those who fought in my thoughts and prayers. 

Hi Ed,
I always love to see our flag flying and even better with the Flag honoring the POWs. One of my biggest regrets is the younger generations will likely never be able to comprehend the sacrifices made for the freedom they enjoy.
