We honor and thank U.S. Army Special Forces Staff Sergeant Chris Falkel for defending our freedoms and fighting to liberate the lives of others.

​Chris inspires us with this recollection from his childhood buddy and neighbor, Matthew Sahagun:
"Chris was a warrior," Sahagun said. "Since an early age he always had it in him. He was brave beyond belief and always by your side if you needed him."

[Note: Chris' life and his dad carrying on his legacy via "Juniors Bullet Pens" was one of the first inspirations to enable this Flag Steward nonprofit program]

Edward J. Sweeney Jr.

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."
