We’ve been up north the past 4 days putting up flagpoles and revisiting our nation’s history at Gettysburg. So far we’ve touched GA, SC, NC, VA, MD and PA.
So far we’ve honored 2 veterans, got rained out for one and have one more to go tomorrow before we head home.
The first of our veterans is my brother Joe Mitchell, USMC.
Joe and I spent our entire time together. We were in the same platoon in Boot Camp (3078), AIT (now SOI) at Camp Geiger, Marine Barracks 8th & I, the Pentagon and finally Camp David.
We had never met before Sept. 8th. We’ve know each other for more than 42 years. It was such an honor to gift this flagpole to him and see him after all these years.
Joe hails from Kernersville, NC

I spent the afternoon taking care of a few things on my “to do” list.
First stop was to OHS Football complex to donate a couple of flags to the players Offensive and Defensive team rooms. We got Coach Moore hooked up and he was really appreciative.
Next stop was over to 102 y.o. WWII vet Ambers Hanson’s home in Auburn to replace his flagpole that was recently damaged in the last storm.
Last stop was to the “hill” overlooking the intersection of Shug Jordan and Wire Road to replace the flag at the pole that stands over the Civil War cemetery.
Always a beautiful sight to see the new colors flying.

You rock Marine
“Jamie is exactly what you would expect him to be, being a former Marine. This man is professional and very passionate about what he does. Thank you again Jamie”
“I can never thank you enough for what you did for 2 Vets who just can’t believe that a stranger cared enough for them to be made to feel special. Bless you both and thank you.“
“I love the support for our military!! What a great way to show veterans we will always care about them!”
“This is truly an embodiment of how committed veterans are to service as they themselves are often the ones planting the flags for others. An inspiration for all of us on how we should give our own skills and treasures to benefit the greater needs of others.”
