   To all the members:

THE ONLY  FLAG THAT DOESN'T  FLY 

Between the  fields where the flag is planted, there are 9+ miles of flower 
fields that  go all the way to the ocean. The flowers are grown by seed 
companies. It's  a beautiful place, close to Vandenberg AFB. Check out 
the dimensions of  the flag. The Floral Flag is 740 feet long and 390 feet 
wide and maintains  the proper Flag dimensions, as described in Executive 
Order #10834. This  Flag is 6.65 acres and is the first Floral Flag to be 
planted with 5  pointed Stars, comprised of White  Larkspur.  Each Star is 
24 feet in diameter; each Stripe is 30 feet  wide. This Flag is estimated to 
 contain more than 400,000 Larkspur plants,  with 4-5 flower stems each, 
 for a total of more than 2 million  flowers When you  read this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our servicemen past and present.

	A BIG THANK YOU!!! to all of our Veterans and those currently serving our country. We all owe you for the freedoms that we have. As the Patriot Guard motto goes 'Standing For Those Who Stood For Us!'

	To all of those who are ex-GI's - and that includes Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard - this day has a very special meaning. We think back on our military friends who are not with us today. We think of the sacrifice they made in time - service in the military - and sometimes wounds or the supreme sacrifice. We miss them all. God Bless our men in uniform wherever they may be and whatever siguation they may be in. We thank them for their service. We also take time to remember those who have served through the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, the Indian Wars, the Civil War, the Spanish American War, WWI, WWII, Korea - don'g forget that one - Vietnam, Desert Storm, Afghanistan, and Iraq - not to mention all the numerous scurmmishes we get into that are not listed as full fledged wars. Thanks and God Bless to all our servicepeople past and present. Good Luck! Bill Long
