Memorial Day 2019:
 An unexpected surprise... 
At about 2:30pm on Memorial Day, while I was up in a remote area, near Sugarloaf Mountain, in the Boulder Canyon, I received a text message from Tom Mustin of Denver's ABC Channel 7 News.  He wanted to interview me about Flag Steward and its iHonor Flag program for the Ch. 7 News broadcast at 10pm.  I scrambled down from Boulder Canyon and met Tom at the studio around 5:30pm.  The resulting news interview is below...

​November 2018:
Flag Steward's 'Interactive American Flag,' honoring a GWOT fallen CU alum, made this US Flag carried on the field by CU's football team more meaningful to the team and its fans

The flag we carry out behind Ralphie this week will be a little more special.
