In honor of our fallen veterans on Memorial day in May, Fairmount Memorial Park places American flags at the entry to their cemetery-- https://www.fairmountmemorial.com/ . Back in 1974 Chris was asked to shoot a picture of the flags for the Spokane Daily Chronicle. The color picture was published in the newspaper. The Veterans of Foreign Wars magazine contacted Chris to purchase the picture for the cover of their magazine. He asked permission from the newspaper editor and was told ,"no" he could not sell the picture as it was owned by the Chronicle. He then went to the cemetery and told them what the VFW magazine wanted. They agreed to put up all the flags again so he could reshoot the picture.
Once again this year we remember our veterans and thank them for their service. Because of our veterans and with God's help we live in a land where we have the right to pursue life, liberty, and happiness.
Psalm 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord
