Flag raising

[jwg]

When I was a kid - 7 yrs old or so - as in the icon in this post I had a summer job to raise and lower a neighbor's flag - folding it correctly and stowing it in the designated place.. This was at our summer house in Deal, NJ. I was very conscientious about this task and did it even if I wasn't feeling well. I think my pay was 50 cents a week.
