I wish when you write an article (thumbs up last Sunday) you would get your facts right. On the night the Larry Gatlin was at the Freeborn County Fair, it was the VFW honor guard that presented the flag, not the American Legion. I was part of that honor guard and a proud member of the VFW and very proud to have served my country for 29 years. So please put credit where credit is due and get the facts right. Thank you.

Editor’s note: The description in the thumbs up of what happened was based upon what a patriotic reader who was at the show mistakenly told us. The reader suggested a thumbs up for the honor guard, and we obliged. We printed the correction Wednesday.
