Since then, we've received responses from Antrim County citizens, offering to send care packages to my friend's unit.

To show their gratitude, Baker and his unit sent the Antrim County News, the flag they flew over their base camp near the Iraq-Afghanistan border, on Memorial Day of this year.

We now ask you, to visit our office on Bridge St., and take your picture with the flag. Come alone, or in a group, to have your photo run on our dedicated page next week, which will be sent back to the unit later this month. To get the ball rolling, Michigan's Lieutenant Governor, Don Cherry, had his photo snapped with the flag, and we encourage you to do the same.

Visit the office today, Thursday or Friday during business hours, and have your photo taken. The photos will run in next week's edition and the following week, is being sent to my friend's unit, along with any items you want to include.

Everyone reading this publication, is encouraged to come in, to show support.
