“No Man Left Behind”
A flag ceremony was arranged for Lance Cpl. Fred Maciel’s mother. When the Browns arrived they found themselves surrounded by Fred’s old troopmates, a host of other Marines, and service personnel who all came to honor his life too.
Fred had served in Iraq and tragically been killed in a helicopter crash. The flag, which somehow ended up at the flea market, was finally returned to Fred’s mother nearly ten years after his death.
