Fallen Patriot Commemoration
This U.S. Flag site and Flag Steward experience is dedicated to this inspirational Patriot:
U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant
Evander E. Andrews of Solon, Maine

​Served in Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan)
with 366th Civil Engineering Squad from Mountain Home AFB, Idaho
Died October 10, 2001, in a heavy equipment accident in Qatar - building a forward airbase 
First Armed Forces service member to die in the Global War on Terror

​Andrews' former squadron commander, said "Leaders get involved - and Andy did.''  He was recognized "by the soles of his boots and the back of his head,'' as he could much more often be found working on heavy equipment than sitting in an office.

Patriot Honor Roll
The personal Patriots remembered by this Interactive American Flag include:
U.S. Army (Retired) Lieutenant Colonel
Edward J. Sweeney Jr.
[ His Memorial Flagpole, gifted to his grandchildren in CO, was the spark to start this tech-driven, civic-minded nonprofit project honoring America's Fallen Patriots (military and first responders) ]

Vietnam Veteran of Boston, Massachusetts.
20 year Army career (1967-1987) in Aviation and Corps of Engineers
Awarded Silver Star, Bronze Star, and 45 Air Medals while serving as scout helicopter pilot ( shot down 3 times ;) in Vietnam.
Died December 8, 2008, age 62, of a Vietnam War related illness 
Survived by wife, Ellen Sweeney, two children and three grandchildren.
We honor and thank U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Ed Sweeney Jr. for defending our freedoms and fighting to liberate the lives of others.

​Ed Sweeney Jr. inspires us with his leadership - how he looked out for the welfare of his men:
Chief Warrant Officer Frank Glenn, a fellow Vietnam War scout helicopter pilot of Platoon Leader Ed Sweeney, repeated Captain Sweeney's directive to his 9 scout pilots, "Don't be a cowboy, don't take any unnecessary risks, no hot-dogging, and don't get your crew killed.  Your job is to return to base everyday."
