Star-Spangled Inspirational Quote
The wife of our showcased Interactive American Flag honoree, said this about her husband, GySgt Jordan,
“He loved the Marines. He said that’s what made him what he is. If he were here, he’d say he died doing what he was supposed to be doing.”

In Iowa, US and State Flags are half-staff to honor a fallen WWII soldier finally being buried at home in Thompson, Iowa. Army Private Donald E. Brown, of Thompson, was killed in action on July 28, 1944, when his tank was destroyed by enemy fire in France. The 24-year-old’s remains were buried at an American military cemetery in France as an unknown soldier. The remains were disinterred in August 2017 and identified through DNA testing. Brown will be buried with full military honors Saturday in Thompson.
In South Carolina, the US and State Flags have been ordered to half-staff, until further notice, to honor 6 police officers wounded and 1 killed in Florence, SC. Police Officer Terrence Carraway, a 30-year law enforcement officer, died last night from gunshot wounds.
GO HERE to the Officer Down Memorial Page to learn more about these peace officers.

An American rock music icon, Tom Petty, died on Oct 3, 2017 from an adverse drug reactionn (taking too many pain killers). I bet you know some of his classics, like I Wont' Back Down, Free Fallin', American Girl, and Runnin' Down a Dream
Take a moment to honor him by listening to a song or two ;)
