Fond memories of the late Ralph Stewart of Rancho Bernardo recur every year to me at this time. For those of you who may not know, Stewart was very instrumental in reviving "God Bless America Week" in all of San Diego Sounty, and our nation. He was honored, not too long before he died in 2006 by the San Diego City Council for his efforts.
It was the wish of this gentle, patriotic man to have the week of Thanksgiving be designated for this celebration, The intent was simple, to honor our country and those who fought, and continue to fight for our freedom. It was his wish for everyone to fly their American flag to show their patriotism. So please fly your star spangled banner this week in his honor and to also honor our great country and its heroes.
One day, perhaps, the week of Thanksgiving will be a national holiday as Stewart wished.
