Ch (Col.) Whiz Broome's Funeral Service (pdf)

The day Herby was born his Grandma Crosby gave him an American flag for his birth. Mom thought was a strange gift for a baby, although it be Memorial Day he was born. On the flight home, she shared this with me.
Herby came into this world with a flag, he served for the flag, and he left this world with flag.
