Patriot Of The Day: Larry Eckhardt ‘The Flagman’

In the wake of unspeakable tragedy, there is a hero who brings the colors flying. His name is Larry Eckhardt, but many people who meet him do not know it. They only know that he has come to honor one of their fallen soldiers with what he considers a comparatively small tribute: 2200 American flags.

And so they call him the Flag Man.

You can find Larry Eckhardt on Facebook if you want to send this extraordinary person a message of thanks.
