Flying Flag is tribute to his father, Reece Harvey Columbia is flying flags this week, and they are beautiful. One man flies the flag everyday in the Tabor Community. He flies it to show he is a proud American. He flies it for his father, Reece Harvey, who fought in three of the bloodilest battles of World War II and who flew his flag every day at his home on Adair Avenue in Columbia, KY. About: Flying the Flag photo by Linda Waggener By Tony Harvey In regards to the state of affairs and flying flags all year, I for one wholeheartedly agree with this idea. Anyone who knows me will tell you I fly my flag everyday on Hwy 704, weather permitting. It's brought in carefully every evening, although I have been so tired a few evenings and I've forgotten the chore. Flying the flag shows visitors to our area that we take our flag seriously, and do not take the lives which were lost defending it lightly. t also shows I would like to think, that we are proud Americans and not ashamed to fly the colors. Got the idea from father, Reece Harvey My father, Reece Harvey, would fly his flag on a daily basis when he lived up on Adair Avenue. Maybe that's where I get it the idea.Dad was a proud American. No matter what party was in the White House, he was a proud American through the good and bad. You can trust me when I say the bad. He fought with the 134th regiment during World War II. He saw the worst mankind could offer He saw the worst that mankind could offer during his days of service and fighting for our country. His unit took part in the battles of St. Lo, The Ardennes, and the Battle of the Bulge.All 3 of these were considered to be some of bloodiest fights during WWII.And if there's anyone attribute that dad showed me that stands out in my mind it was to be a Proud American. So the next time you pass by and see the grand old flag flying in the Tabor community, remember that I don't just fly the flag for myself alone, I fly it for my dad too. If those who live here in the county would fly flags for their dads who have served in the service, I just wonder how many more flags that we would see? This story was posted on 2009-06-15 06:42:09
