We Remember!

Memorial Day Tribute!

Every year for the past three years, has put out 1,500 American flags throughout various subdivisions in Oakville as a tribute honoring the brave men and women who gave their lives protecting our freedom. 

As the owner, I do this as a courtesy stemming from strong patriotic pride, a small gift to our Oakville neighbors. 

Like many of you, I have family members currently serving in the military.  My brother-in-law, Paul, a Marine, is in Afghanistan, and my son Matt, a C-17 pilot, flies missions to the Middle East and other parts of the World.

We have lost a dear friend, Marine Corporal Donald Marler and we will never forget him, or the countless others who have sacrificed so much for us!  Please honor these fallen heroes by flying your American Flag proudly for Memorial Day.  We remember!
