Just want to thank everyone who gave their opinion and thoughts on how my sis-in-law and I should have handled our sistuation with my Dad's Flag. If you all knew my sister and how controlling she was everyone would understand why we felt so strongly about putting another flag in the box she bought and just give her that flag to keep the peace in our family. I truly am not even sure if its about the flag or about how strongly she feels that if her husband hadn't asked if my Dad was gonna get a flag she thinks he wouldn't have gotten one. She is the one who came up with us 4 siblings sharing the flag but my other brother and I didn't want the flag. I don't need a flag to remember how much i loved my Dad. Thanks To You All

sounds like my family

I guess I was lucky. Mom had the flag that was on my dad's coffin. When she passed away, the pastor at the memorial service presented us with a flag in honor of mom's service as a military wife. She had also co-written (with me) several published stories about her experiences during the bombing of Pearl Harbor and her take on freedom. When we were going through things a couple of months after mom died, my brother asked me, "Which do you want?" He was smiling because he knew what a tight relationship I had had with my dad; he was momma's boy! I got Dad's flag and he got mom's!
