Teen Supports His Country

RECEIVED Mon., Sept. 27, 2004

Dear Editor,
   I am very proud of my 14-year-old son. He took it upon himself to put out our American flag in front of our house every morning and bring it in every afternoon. He plays "Taps" on his trumpet every afternoon before removing the flag and bringing it in. I am so proud to see that some kids still can be patriotic and support our country. He also joined the Young Marines at Bedichek Middle School. I feel this is a good story to let our society know some of our young teenagers can do good and support our country.
