Letter: A sea of flags as big as the town's love

Posted

Thank you to everyone who played a part of making the display of over 1,000 flags illuminated  at night on Pike's Peak. It is a beautiful, thoughtful tribute to our veterans, and to the patriotic music of Taps at sunset, I thank you.

As a 100 percent disabled veteran's widow, I personally feel the love you all gave with the gifts of your time and sponsorship. Thank you warmly.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
