The Stars and Stripes

This thirteen start flag was given to my grandfather W.J.Rodgers by an unknown American when he immigrated from Ireland as a boy in 1893. This flag has been an inspiration to the Rodgers family and to many others who have laid eyes upon this amazing piece of history. My Grandfather went on to serve his country in Meuse,Verdun & Argonne as a Sgt. in the U.S. Army during WWI. My father, W.J.Rodgers, Jr. retired as a Colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps having served during WWII in Iwo Jima, Tinian, Saipan, Roi Namur and through the Korean conflict. I myself, a U.S. Navy SEAL, Master Chief would like to dedicate this space to these two men and all those who serve.
