A Family Heirloom is created

 

1. Let us hope his son gets home before the magic african gent bans the stars and stripes (dont laugh he must hate what it stands for)

2. yeah I think he should keep it.

3. OK -when you read the story - it is indeed a family heirloom and I’m with you.

   I retire mine (and have a nice little pile, I keep forgetting to take them in). But as a parent (who sent/carried) a number of ‘good luck’ charms, symbols and such - when a child of yours is in harms way - you can see hope, protection and peace in the simplest of things.

   I also have a red, white & blue wreath on the door - which has morphed into two (we have a long bare wall - where the previous owner hung a huge wreath) plus other r,w,b decorations - I just hang the yellow ribbon and a name plate when one of the family is deployed.

   This is America - to each his own - and isn’t that what Freedom is about?
