:handgestures-salute: Here's a big salute and thank you to all, living or passed, who have served or are still serving!

And a moment of silence, to say "We miss you, friends :pray: :cry: " to absent comrades...

Thanks again

In 1996 his World's Largest Superflag (255 x 505 Ft), 2.8 football fields large, was hoisted on Hoover Dam for the Olympic Torch Relay Crossing. "Ski" and the Superflag made it into the 1997 Guinness Book of Records ® for the "Largest Flag in the World.

Superflag's grommet's were attached to heavy steel cables attached to the Hoover Dam by officials of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, which operates the Dam. The steel grommets every 30 inches where strong enough to hold the flag in heavy wind, and soon after the record required time period had passed, one cable snapped!
