Joejetzu Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 This is my wife's great uncle. If any Patriot Guard or ALR members are reading this, I want to form a flag line outside the funeral home Friday evening from 6pm to 7pm in honor of Mr Crowe's service in the war. He served under General Patton. Definately one of the Greatest Generation. I have the honor of helping to carry this great hero to his final post. A sad job for sure, but an honor none the less.

Joejetzu Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Bumping this up for anyone who wants to stand the flag line for this fallen hero from 6pm to 7pm tomorrow night (Friday). You don't have to be a member of the PGR or Legion, just show up with a flag and a deep respect for those who fought for your freedom. Link to post Share on other sites

He was my wife's great uncle, but we try to do this for as many fallen heroes as we can, whether we knew them or not. It is the least we can do. Link to post Share on other sites
