Brief Description:  Bob surprised me with a flag

I have to give a shout out to my buddy Bob (and his son, Brett). Before coming down for the visit, Bob mentioned that he had a surprise for Teresa and me. Well, after his arrival, he handed me a United States flag box. "Wow, that's really cool, a new U.S. flag - Thanks, Bob!" To which, Bob told me to open the box. I opened the box and it was a United States flag, along with a certificate, which read:

"This flag was proudly flown in an F-15E Strike Eagle on a combat sortie over Syria and Iraq in support of OPERATION INHERANT RESOLVE Presented to Jim and Teresa Novak"

Wow! I couldn't even finish reading the certificate as I was so choked up by the kind gesture and the really awesome fact that I now have a United States flag that was flown in a combat sortie. I never dreamed that was the surprise Bob had for me. Wow.

Brett, Bob's son, is currently serving in the Air Force and has put his life on the line to protect our freedoms. I really have a love for all of those patriot hero’s that are serving, or who have served, in the military - which makes this flag and certificate, all the more meaningful. Evidently, Brett had asked his Dad if there was anyone who would appreciate a flag being flown for them and Bob thought of me and Teresa. Wow....just, Wow! Thanks Bob. I sent Brett a letter - but I hope to someday thank him in person as the letter could not have expressed my true thoughts.
