      Thank you for the compliments. We of The Noon Exchange Club of Murfreesboro were glad and proud to remember the real reason for Memorial Day – not beer, barbque, the lake or shopping sales – but the sacrifice many have given and are giving to keep Americans free so we can have such an event.
      You are never gone until you are forgotten and we of Exchange will NOT forget.

    You guys are SUPER! I was very moved by the wonderful Field of Flags. It’s a great way to remember our veterans past and present. My parents met during WW2 while in the Navy and shared 60 yrs. together, even when Dad was away during his Army tours of duty. Thanks!!!!
