For 6 years I have been putting out over 500 American flags in the front yards of homes in the Crestmoor Park area of San Bruno on the Memorial Day Weekend. Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service. Memorial Day was officially proclaimed in May 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic. I think it is important to remember those that gave their lives for us; for our freedom. The Crestmoor Park residents appreciate the beauty the flags add to the neighborhood. After walking up one side and down the other side of the street putting flags in the front yards of all the homes I turn around and see the flags waving in the wind. “What a great sight”. Even with all of the problems we are having, I am very proud to be living in this great country. The wonderful fulfilling feeling surely outweighs the sore back from bending down and the sore legs from walking up and down the hills. Several agents from my Prudential Ca. Realty office have begun the same tradition in other parts of San Bruno and South San Francisco.
