Hi Stalesy! Haven't seen that kind of flag here in US.
The Service Flag described in my starting post is the only one US Congress approved. Not to say other countries haven't got versions of their own!
Have a tape of Private Ryan but haven't been able to bring myself to watch it yet. A couple of family friends died at Normandy and even though a couple of friends survived the landing it's just one of those things. One thing to read about it, another to *see it play out in front of you. A couple of local vets who were at Omaha Beach were really shaken after seeing Ryan in the thater when it came out.

Thanks for the lesson
Hi FB! You're welcome. Sometimes it's not bad being 73 when you can help out with memories - like the man said : "Everything old is new again."
