My Dad gave me a flag when I went to Nam. I got a chance to fly it when I had a HQ Co in the 1st Cav. Some asshole stole it a few years later in Florida.

Bob - I'm sorry somebody stole your flag - I can appreciate the feelings.
When I was drafted, we received a small US flag and CA state flag upon induction. I kept them with me and had them hanging above my bunk in SEA because we only flew the host nation's flag at the camp. I now have them sealed and stored amongst my momentoes with explanatory notes to be passed on to my sons. I'd be upset if someone took them, too.
