A Couple Finds an American Flag at the Flea Market and Is Floored by What Is Written on It

A Flea Market Find

Walter Brown and his wife Lanie were at a flea market in Hemphill, Texas, one day and stumbled upon an American flag. The flag was tucked away in the corner of a booth. Walter picked it up, assuming that it was just another run-of-the-mill Old Glory.

Walter held it in his hands for a minute and noticed that the stars and stripes were covered in writing, handwriting specifically. It took him a minute or so, but then it dawned on him. When he realized what he was looking at, he was overcome with sorrow.
