This Weeks Post Was Suggested By Kathi
Kevin Baker
Kevin George Baker, a disabled Navy veteran, had been riding his
hand-propelled bicycle from his hometown through Washington, D.C. and
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania to Marseilles, Illinois to support a new flag
designed to honor fallen members of the military. His trip began at his
home on Saturday, March 7 and sadly ended on March 13 when he passed
away in his sleep. Baker, who is unable to use his legs due to a
neurological impairment, was flying the Honor and Remember Flag from
his bike and encouraged people along the way to sign a petition urging
Congress to adopt the flag as a new national symbol by passing HR Bill
1034.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that
others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am
proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived
