I am touched just thinking about it. I suspect that for them, receiving the flag and the picture and the signed certificate makes the war more concrete. In their minds they can see injured soldiers, and those soldiers whose lives couldn’t be saved. The flag flown on a medical mission represents more than a single mission but all of them. </p> I can totally understand why they were so touched. I am touched just thinking about it.

My son is a C-130 pilot and presented me with one. I was overwhelmed with pride in my Country and for my son. It means a great deal to the receiver. Good for you to honor your friends and family with such a gift. God speed and keep safe. Thank you for your service and come home soon.
