Thanks to Robert A. Lehere for sharing the story of his father, Robert E. Lehere, in the May 15 letters to the editor.

Robert E. Lehere has made it possible for flag holders to be replaced and helped get funding for this project.

My father-in-law and my husband both missed getting flags because their flag holders were missing.

My family and I are grateful to Robert E. Lehere for his respect for our veterans.
