My Dad's flag went to my oldest brother. It is normal given to the oldest child. But my 2nd to youngest bitched and moaned that he wanted it. And we all told him there is no chance because it goes down the line. And even if my 2 older brothers didn't want it. I would NEVER let my 2nd youngest have it. He sold our dads medal he received in the navy. So he isn't getting that flag.
It's more than a peice of cloth. It is the flag that covered my Dads coffin during his funeral. He earned that flag by being a true hero.
From Navy Officer to EMT to Firefighter to state Fire Marshal becoming lead investigator in the Oklahoma city bombing to becoming a Cop and all that time always made time for his 6 kids. That is no cloth that is a symbol of a true hero.
It means just as much to us as his firefighter helmet, his badges, his police shirts, his medals and his awards. I have his helmet and a police shirt (which I can not wear in public of course but I wear it around the house)
Honestly to call it a peice of cloth is to call my Dad some dude that died. So I am going to stop here before I really get mad.
Yeah so he could buy a tablet. When we found out he was screamed at for a good solid week. My 2nd oldest brother went to the pawn shop and lucky the dumb fuck pawned it not sold it. So I should say he pawned it but he never had any intention to get it out seeing as he doesn't have a job. My 2nd oldest kept the medal and we also took the fire marshal badge from him. He tried to sell it as well but the pawn shop refused.
He really is the asshole of my siblings. Worse part is he is named after our dad. He has our dad's middle name as his middle name.
I just pray one day he realized what he did.
But karma is a bitch because the tablet was stolen out the family car at Walmart lol and it was all his fault he left the car unlocked and window down.
