Today, we honor World War II Veteran Leroy Forehand. After graduating high school, Leroy joined the armed forces. He say he joined not so much because he had to but because of a sense of duty. One of his biggest takeaways from his time in the military was the practice of raising and lowering the flag everyday. A practice he brought home after his service, a practice he still does to this day at the age of 102. He rarely misses a day, he says he won’t put the flag out if it’s raining. Even though it may take him a little longer these days, he still pays his respects to the flag he spent years defending. Thank you for your patriotism Leroy and THANK YOU for your service.
