Many thanks to all the volunteers
VETERAN’S FLAG
PROJECT
in our community of BANDON continues to expand
to all five Bandon cemeteries (VFW, Odd Fellows,
and at the three cemeteries on Harlem, Catholic,
GAR and Pioneer), making our community and
families proud. The veteran’s flags which were
donated by the family of deceased veterans,
increased from 24 flags last Memorial Day at two
of the cemeteries, to 51 in all five
cemeteries.
Many thanks to all the volunteers, and these
local merchants, who helped with this addition to
the community beautification project, done on
Veteran’s Day, November 11, 2007.
Many thanks go to Kiwanis for their generous
donation, Bandon Concrete, Bandon Fabrication
(Ron), the local 3440 VFW, Bandon Rental and
Equipment, True Value (Phil), Bandon Mini-
storage, Bandon Bait, Port O Call, and Bandon
Florist.

VISION COME TRUE
It has been a blessing seeing Harry's vision come
to realization. My thanks to all the help from
volunteers of family and friends over this past
two years.

My Uncle Micheal O'Campo
This is a awesome vision and I would love to
honor my Uncle Micheal by having his flag
honoring him with this vision you have created.
I don't have many mementos in my life however,
this is not about me! So, I want to share and
fly his fly whenever possible.
I will get this flag to you very soon.
God Bless.

Thanks
I have a younger brother (sub sailor) buried in
Coos Bay. This reminds me that I need to take
a trip to the south coast to visit his grave.

Thanks, Harry and Bonnie
Hi Guys,
It must be very rewarding to have a vision for a
project, as you did, and then set about doing
whatever was necessary to fulfill that vision.
You surely are to be commended for having the
vision and for getting all the work done to bring
it to fulfillment. Thank you very much.
The flag of our nation is not a controversial
symbol as some would have us believe. Too many
men and women have died to keep this flag flying.
Let us never forget it.
