Geocache Description:

You are seeking a somewhat cammoed plastic container hidden in a really good hiding spot....

The American Flag is an amazing symbol. On it, stretches thirteen stripes for the men and women who came to this land and forged a new nation with their blood, sweat and determination. They waged war for freedom - freedom of thought, freedom to have a fair and just government, and even freedom to worship as they saw fit. Those people made us a flag, gave us Independance Day, and even declared the rights we still have 230 years (to the day) after our independance was first gained.

Thirty-seven states (shining stars on a regal field of blue) and numerous wars later, Amierca still stands, beautifully poised in a harbor, but all around us, too. Her men and women have bravely fought for the freedom found in a symbol left mostly unchanged since Betsy Ross sewed the first flag all those years ago.

From the first shots of the Revolution, Civil War pitting brother against brother, and the War to End All Wars (parts I and II) - this cache is for you. For the Battling Bastards of Bataan, to those once in Vietnam, this is for you. For those who fought in the sand then and now, this is for you.

Near the cache you'll find a circle of seven flags with one larger one in the middle. Because of these people, those flags still fly today. And to them, I dedicate this cache.
