This seems minute as to what all the members, associates and friends have accomplished for Mike Claussen, but none-the-less, important to me, and maybe a few others who have experienced the same thing.

My present wife had a son who was a Naval Aviator. His gravesite in a local town mentions nothing of this, so I figured I would do what I could to juice it up a bit. Got a bronze "veteran" flag holder from the American Legion, and found a set of my Aviator Wings and apoxied them to his headstone.

This made a nice site, as well as a deserving one, in my mind. Well, this year, I went to the site to make sure he had a flag, I found that the bronze holder had been removed (no flag) and someone had peeled off the wings from his stone.

Go figure!
