Last night as I was driving down town I observed the flag painted
on the roof of Tongass Trading. I though it was great and that
was before I read about it on Sitnews. I'm proud that our community
was chosen for the honor by Mr. LoBaido in Alaska. It just proves
once again that we are the First City and rightfully so.
We may not all agree on the
conflicts our nation get into from time to time but I am proud
that there are individuals that serve in our armed forces to
keep us free. They willingly serve and deserve to be honored.
I give Mr. LoBaido my heart
felt thanks and am proud once again to be an American and a Ketchikanite.
