And the Flag Wasn't There
Posted by Frank J. at 09:29 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (15)

My elderly neighbors across the street have a corner lot, and they've made good use of it by putting up a flagpole there. The Stars and Stripes are up every morning and down by nightfall. This morning the flag wasn't up. Instead, there was an ambulance in the driveway and men entering the home with a defibrillator. I knew there wasn't anything for me to do, but I just couldn’t head to work until I saw if they were all right. Eventually, the paramedics came out with the husband on a stretcher, and he was sitting up and looking alert, thank God.

Well, Sarah and I will check on the wife after work, but, if you have some time, I'd appreciate if you gave them some prayers. I've talked to them so many times (first time was me walking over to thank the husband for having the flag there and we talked a long time about the military and such), but I've forgotten their names, I'm afraid. Just pray for Frank's neighbors with the flagpole, and I'm sure God will know who you mean.

Thanks.

UPDATE: My neighbor is already back home and seems to be all right. Thanks for all the prayers.

Consider it done.

If this gentleman was anything like my Grandfather, he'd want you to put his flag up for him.

#7 - Posted by: Bill Naivar on June 13, 2005 12:10 PM

I'll offer to take flag responsibilities when I get home.

#8 - Posted by: Frank J. on June 13, 2005 12:12 PM

How thoughtful and sweet...
I'm sure your prayers have more than been answered.
