Taking down the Flag!!!!!

Franco54 · 07-31-2003

After I recieved alot of great suggestions from all you nice folks at DisneyCentral (A Big Thumbs Up to you Mickey) I decided to write a letter to Disney. I let them know of my real desire to be part of the taking down of the flag. I also told them of my repect and duty of our great country. Just three days after mailing it I recieved a call from a very nice man from Disney. After a few minutes of talking he asked me when I was coming and I told him October 13th thru October 22nd. He let me choose the day I wanted to do it, I told him and he said you got Frank! He took some information and I am all set! I get one free picture and a chance to buy more if I like. I told him that I had goose bumps while he was talking about it and he said he was glad to do it for me. So, thank you one and all for all your suggestions! I guess there is still good in the world huh?

That is awesome Frank!!!!! Congrats , Can't wait to hear how it went.

Frank,

This will be a great honor for you!!! You will also be bestowing a great honor to WDW by doing this. I am sure it is not everyday that a veteran of the greatest military in the world lowers the flag at WDW.

I am looking forward to you picture.

So you're going to take down the flag in the MK one night?That's great!!! What night are you going to do it? If I am free that day,I would love to come to MK and watch you.

Franco54 · 08-02-2003

Yes, my family is excited about the taking down of the flag, but to be honest, this one is for me! My stepsons are awesome! Nice kids trying to do nice things, my wife, is my savior and without her i would be lost. But for me to think that they understand my demons would be foolish. They are so young why bring them into it? So, when I take down the Flag, they will pat me on the back and we will move. All will be happy, but none more then me! October 16th,Thursday,5:00p.m.
