Even though I placed this on Bill Vander Wall's page, I thought it would be great to have a copy right here on the forum because of the history behind this flag.
Bill carried this very flag onto the beaches of the North African shores in November of 1942. As you can see, the flag made it through the war and is still in very good condition.
Bill had sent it home to this parents during the war and they took a pic with it then. When I spent a weekend with Bill and his wife in August, I took a pic of them with the flag almost 63 years later. It's quite a site. Fly on American Glory!
