Our Memorial day observance flag display for 2021 is up. Lots of horn honks from passersby's and can you imagine only two "f*** you" shouted so far, sad but in years past there were none of those. Illinois is indeed a strange place. While times may be a changing history stands.

Oooooh, that's nearby
DeleteI have all his personal information so I will contact him to get the OK for you to get in touch. Thanks.
DeleteIt needs to be said-there are mostly red counties in Illinois. Also, Cairo IL is farther south than Richmond, plus many of the families in Illinois that arrived here before 1840 were from Virginia (like mine) and NC.
ReplyDeleteCairo IL is farther south than Richmond,
DeleteI remember that T RIP, told me that years ago. Thanks.
Beautiful and patriotic. I wish I had a field of scarlet poppies.
ReplyDelete“In Flanders fields, the poppies blow,
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard above the guns below …”
Brock, have a wondeful & nostalgic Memorial Day!
Thank you and the same to you, My Dear Sir!
