That Star-Spangled Banner yet waves. Donald and his family lived down the street from us. He was 8 years older than I. I remember when news of his sacrifice spread quickly throughout the neighborhood.

Four Decades later, "She" still flies proudly; your sacrifice is not forgotten Donald. Your neighbor, Mike.
