Rosa or any family member of Gils, I share with all Military families in the loss of their loved ones.
During the period of July 23 to August 3, 2009 a Motorcycle Club I ride with held a gathering at the Weber County Fairgrounds in Ogden Utah. We are called the Patriot Guard Riders and are a US Wide organization. You can look us up on GOOGLE if you have internet or ask a friend to do so. Our goal was to fly 5,000 flags at this event to honor our fallen heroes. I chose Gil because he was from my home town and I still have a soft spot for Paterson.
I have that flag that flew in his honor and if you care to contact me, I would like to send it to you as my tribute to your brother. There is no cost involved. I will pay for shipping.
If you wish to have the flag you can contact me at nbrizzi@juno.com. I live in Boise, Idaho and I am a US Navy Vietnam Era Veteran.
Regards, Nick Brizzi
