May is Military Appreciation Month
So, with that in mind, for most of this month's 'Be a Stud Citizen' Messages, we're going to share just a few of the more than 200+ iHonor American Flags that Flag Steward made in the past few years to pay tribute to our military fallen - primarly our GWOT (Global War On Terror) Fallen. But, on occasion, we do pay tribute to Our Fallen from other wars - like today's tribute to a Vietnam War Fallen Marine. Unfortunately, with the pandemic putting our middle and high schools in a state of chaos across the USA (fully remote, hybrid, quarantined, etc.) for more than a year now, the iHonor Flag project, powered by Flag Steward, has been siderailed. I hope this fall, with the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and the start of the Global War on Terror upon us, to rejuvenate this project.
