The Reunion
Realizing its significance now, the Browns instantly purchased the flag. The messages written on it were all for a Lance Cpl. Fred Maciel. The couple managed to track down Fred’s mother, Patsy.
Arrangements were made to have the flag given to her, in person, at the Calvary Hill Cemetery where her son was buried. The Browns reached the destination expecting to see a private gathering; instead, that was when they first saw all the Marines.
