Today's #NeverForgottenFriday Commemoration
Since we've postponed our weekly Pre-Pledge Tributes during schools' summer break; and subsequently the 'Fallen Patriots to Honor' section of those tributes ... We plan to commemorate them on Fridays this summer.
Unfortunately, there were 2 Global War on Terror (GWOT) Fallen this week. U.S. Army Specialist Michael Nance, 24, of Chicago, Illinois, and Private First Class Brandon Kreischer, 20, of Stryker, Ohio, were killed in action (KIA) on Monday, July 29th. Nance and Kreischer were part of Company B., 1st Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, of the 82nd Airborne Division from Ft. Bragg, NC. They were killed by small arms fire in Tarin Kowt, Uruzgan Province. CLICK HERE to learn more about this.

Fellow Flag Stewards,
My family and I will be away on vacation from Wed., July 31, to Sat., August 3, visiting my in-laws in St. Louis, MO. During this time, I will have connectivity, but I'm going to minimize the daily content posted. If you're interested in helping (volunteering for) our nonprofit to post informative and inspiring daily stories from Our Flag, please fill-in the form below. Volunteer site editors and social media marketers would be a big boost. Our operation is currently a one-man show building and maintaining the Flag Steward app and website for a measured 25,000+ monthly unique users - as of this past month. Thanks for your consideration.
-Sean Sweeney, Chief Flag Steward
