    We had eight in the flag line to honor USMC Corporal Charles Levy today. Two flag bearers stood at the entrance from the road, and the rest in front of the church. USMC veteran Keith Longacre carried the USMC flag. It was a comfortable but breezy day. A few of us enjoyed lunch at the nearby Andice General Store afterward.

    A special thanks to Calvin Story for bringing the flags and water. RIP Charles David Levy.
