Memorial Day Flag displayed at Ocean City, Maryland, 2012
Thanks to everyone who came out not only to participate but to enjoy the unfurling of a 150 pound American flag on the beach at Ocean City. It was hot, but those who held up the flag for some 40 minutes, had no complaints. Remembrance has no time limits.The flag is carefully folded inside a van...
A worker (shown in red shirt) with Holiday Bowl gives instructions to volunteers. Ocean City provided the flag display as part of the Memorial Day weekend program. Shown right, a volunteer proudly shows his USMC spirit as he prepares to help carry the flag.
No shortage of volunteers...
Volunteers proudly pitch in...
This flag weighs 150 pounds.
I had to make a decision to run back to my room several blocks down for the unfurling or stick with the flag on the ground. I opted to run the distance and made it just it time.
