Healing Wounds

摘要

The bright white stars are 9.5 inches from tip to tip on this 20-foot-by-30-foot American flag. It's massive. And it was unfurled recently on the east steps of the U.S. Capitol as a tribute to our wounded heroes. This special flag is headed to Craig Joint Theater Hospital at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, courtesy of DHL Express. It will replace a similar-size flag that is currently hanging from the ceiling in an area called Warrior's Way. That flag, installed in 2011, will soon be retired. All the wounded warriors coming off the battlefield into the largest U.S. military hospital in Afghanistan pass under this flag.
