Honoring our defenders


As a young man I was taught to respect the flag and all it stands for. As a young boy scout I was involved in my grandfathers funeral helping with the flag. Grandpa East served our country in WWII and taught me how to show respect to the flag and to my country. This week has been a great honor to be apart of a funeral for a young man that gave his life for me and the freedoms that I enjoy. Thank You for your service.

We picked up Eric Lindstrom from the airport and I was privileged to drive the funeral coach. It was an amazing sight to come back into town and see the people of flagstaff lining the streets from before Sizzler clear to the mortuary.

Many people attended the service. Men and women were in uniform everywhere.

May God bless our country and the men and women who serve and protect it!
