A.G. Stacker Hosts (CONT’D FROM PAGE 14)
legiance, SAR Pledge and Guest Recognitions. Captain Ros Poplar, decorated US Navy veteran gave a moving keynote speech titled, Flag Day As Seen By A Veteran, covering the history of the American flag and the trials its defenders have faced for generations. “To put it in perspective, each one of the fifty stars that adorns our flag represents the death of roughly 27,000 American Soldiers, Sailor, Airmen, and Marines that paid for the freedom we enjoy today,” noted Captain Poplar, as tears formed in many attendees’ eyes. He continued with remembrance for the veterans he knew personally that died in combat through his military career or lost their lives during the tragedy of September 11, 2001. Capt. Poplar concluded, “Flag Day for many veterans is a solemn day because every time we see the field of blue and its fifty stars, we can see the faces of our lost
comrades who gave their life for this great nation. That is why every time a veteran sees an American Flag, do not be surprised if there is a tear shed for a former comrade – we will never forget!” Captain Ros Poplar, retired U.S. Navy Veteran, spoke on ‘Flag Day As Seen By A Veteran.’
