The Sentinel’s Creed

My dedication to this sacred duty
is total and whole-hearted.
In the responsibility bestowed on me
never will I falter.
And with dignity and perseverance
my standard will remain perfection.
Through the years of diligence and praise
and the discomfort of the elements,
I will walk my tour in humble reverence
to the best of my ability.
It is he who commands the respect I protect,
his bravery that made us so proud.
Surrounded by well meaning crowds by day,
alone in the thoughtful peace of night,
this soldier will in honored glory rest
under my eternal vigilance.
- Simon 1971

As many of us get older, we dream about the prospect of retirement. Forgetting about work, getting to do whatever we want with our time, traveling to our hearts’ content... But not John William Boucher. As a young man, he served bravely as a soldier in the American Civil War. But decades later, when World War I rolled around, Boucher wasn’t thinking about retirement. Instead, the veteran signed up to fight yet again, despite being in his 70s!

Signing up to fight as a 70-something-year-old soldier is one thing, but actually being permitted to do so is quite another. How on Earth was this situation able to arise? Well, Boucher had been so determined to serve during World War I that he decided to resort to lying about his age. He told the people at the recruitment office that he was 48, which was the maximum age a person was allowed to be if they wanted to join.

Never put anything inside the flag, especially spent brass. First, it's against the Flag Code, second, it's not , and third, the oils and other chemicals destroy the material, getting to work almost immediately. has had to give the bad news of, "Sorry, there's nothing anyone can do to repair your flag" to several people over the years.

Veteran groups, many of you are the main culprit in this egregious action. Please stop it immediately. Give the brass to the NOK later or have a set ready to present just after the flag is presented but not on or in the flag.
