Operation Just Cause... ...for as long as it takes
"Thank you", he said, as I passed by.
"Me?" I asked, and wondered why.
"For remembering", he said.
I had a POW sweatshirt on -
"You are Not Forgotten" -
in white and red.
He's the vet who puts up the
200-plus flag display
On Veterans' and Memorial Day -
He started out with only two
for friends he knew -
who died so far away.
He said his nickname is "Flags"
but his real name is Jim.
To my way of thinking
we should be thanking him.
