*************
Fallen Patriot Commemoration
This U.S. Flag site and Flag Steward experience is dedicated to this inspirational Patriot:

U.S. Army Staff Sergeant
​Brian C. Prosser of Frazier Park, CA
SSG Brian Prosser served as part of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF)
with 3rd Battalion, 5th Special Forces Group, from Fort Campbell, KY
Killed December 5, 2001, by friendly-fire bombing in Afghanistan  
( CA's first combatant killed in GWOT - Global War on Terror; OEF/OIF )

... a Maricopa HS friend of Brian, Patrick J. Horton, passed along this tribute to Brian (via LA Times) ...
Your legacy is the now free country and people of Afghanistan who enjoy so many of the freedoms Americans often take for granted; they can vote, have free speech, women can be educated and pursue the career they want and aall this without threat of reprisal or being stoned to death as with the Taliban regime. Whatever the critics say, I hope they pause long enough to realize that it's soldiers like you that have pushed back the darkness of tyranny the world over throughout history and that soldiers love peace first and most since they may pay the highest price for it as you have. The poet Edmund Burke said, "All that is needed for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."

Patriot Honor Roll
Here is an example tribute to imitate / replace.
[ THIS IS THE FLAG STEWARD FOUNDER'S EXAMPLE HONOR ROLL TRIBUTE TO HIS DAD - WHOSE MEMORIAL FLAGPOLE INSPIRED THIS NONPROFIT PROJECT ]

The personal Patriot(s) remembered by this Interactive American Flag include(s):
U.S. Army (Retired) Lieutenant Colonel
Edward J. Sweeney Jr.
Vietnam Veteran of Boston, Massachusetts
20 year Army career (1967-1987) in Aviation and Corps of Engineers
Awarded Silver Star, Bronze Star, and numerous 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."
