Our 48 Star Flag


Herold Vandewater

This flag was given to me by a Aunt that I just happened to run into at a small cemetery in IN...I had been searching for lost relatives(lost to me that is) and had finally found where my Grandfather was buried.  How I finally found the cemetery is another story.  As I was cleaning off the headstone she walks up to me and says...so you know Uncle Harold?  I explained who I was and such and she tells me well I have a box of his stuff waiting for someone to claim.  And that is how I come to have this flag...
Now you tell me...is Gods timing perfect or what?
