...after a meal, a movie, some mingling and a four-hour nap, that leaves you with, oh, my God, nine hours to go. I read Jarhead for a little longer, then switched my video channel to the moving map display. It showed nothing but the huge blue expanse of the Pacific Ocean. Where the hell was Singapore anyway? Then back to the movies! Intolerable Cruelty zipped by. Then a couple of hours more sleep...

One woman pulled into the driveway bearing a photograph of her nephew, killed in action the day before. Another day, a Marine in uniform...
...event, the Benders' plan to remove the flags after the Independence Day weekend gave way to a much larger project of updating and maintaining the display. Don, who runs the truck-parts business founded by his grandfather, ordered another 1,000 flags to augment his original supply of 4,000. He, his wife and their two daughters straightened the flags after storms, replaced damaged flags and added new ones with grim regularity...
