Our WWII vet, Frank McDermott, passed away yesterday afternoon (Saturday 7\/31) at the hospital. Frank was probably our most loyal and most beloved sheepdog. For over 2 years he never missed a rally, even on the coldest days, in freezing rain or wind, he would show up on his scooter and take his spot on the corner.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>TSO and I attended one of the rallies up there back on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=1877\">Flag Day, 2008<\/a> and a better bunch of patriots don&#8217;t exist.
