Purchase

Walter was an ex-army man so he knew the value of a country flag and therefore he decided to buy it and keep it safely with himself. But as soon as he picked up the flag to have a look at it, he knew there was something unusual about it which made it stand out from all the other flags of America. 

Slipped Out Of Mind

“I didn’t know what it was when I was processing the boxes. I really wanted to see what it was”, said Yahne. But when Walter came to ask the price of the flag, Yahne was just excited for the sale that he was going to make and quoted $15. But Walter wouldn’t agree. 

Minimal Cost

Walter asked Yahne to look closely at the flag and then re-think about the price. Yahne noticed that the flag had stains and scribbling done with ink and that is why he reduced the price to just $5. He had indeed given too little a price for something that was going to yield such an incredible story. 

Little Messages

When Walter took a close look at the flag, he saw that there was something handwritten all over the flag. It had little messages written by strangers, for a stranger. Walter took the flag home to investigate the uniqueness and story of the flag further. 

Unaware

Walter was happy that he had found such a unique looking country flag for such a nominal cost. But he was unaware of the story behind the uniqueness of the flag. Soon, he would see Marines gathered outside his house when they would know of the flag that Walter owned now. 

Serving The Country

Walter Brown had been in the army and had served the country for quite a long time. In fact, his son-in-law was also in the U.S. Marine Corps. The family had the true patriot fervor in them and that is why the flag caught Walter’s attention in the first place.
