Here is another flag created by Robin, a flagologist here at Flagology:
“How do you remember someone you never knew? Sounds like a silly question doesn’t it but this is what I ask myself when I think about my grandfather.
My grandfather, George Washington Wood, died when my dad was only 6 years old. I can’t imagine not having my Dad while I grew up. His strong hands and warm hugs even to this day make me melt as I’m still Daddy’s little girl.
My Granddaddy George as I’ve always called him served as a soldier in WWII and that is the picture that stands out most in my memory of my grandfather. In this picture he looks very proud to be a soldier, and I’m very proud to be his granddaughter even though he never knew me either. Looking at this picture makes me realize how blessed and proud I am to be an American…..a gift of freedom given to me by a grandfather’s service and sacrifice to a granddaughter he never met.”
Thanks, Robin. Your flag inspires us. So many kinds of flags make me happy. But anytime we are honoring a soldier or veteran, it’s extra special to be a part of that memory!
