This is so meaningful, educational and very well presented. Thank you so much, We the Kids and Ann Wolf – God bless!
Thank you WTK’s and Ann Wolf for this reminder of what the folds in the flag folding mean. I had long forgotten this information. I remember learning this in elementary school. Thank you for the refresher course and for teaching our children this truly important information about our American Flag!!!
Thank you for the information. I never knew it had a meaning, but I am glad to know the story behind it. Bothmy father and uncle had flags on their caskets but not military funerals. They both served in WWII.
Thank you , teaching the cub scouts this week!
