HERE IS A STORY that will tug at your heart strings about an 8 year old boy and his selfless concern for a soldier wounded in the 507th Maintenance Company ambush during the war.

Bobby said he wasn’t finished. He told Mrs. Emery that he had a special flag at home that he wanted to put on the cover.

The following morning the teacher stood quietly as Bobby took a small, American desk flag about the size of his hand out of his backpack and unfolded it.

“What makes this flag so special, Bobby?” asked Mrs. Emery. She choked back tears as he answered her question.

“My dad gave it to me to remember him by while he’s deployed,” Bobby replied.
