Misused freedom
Mum went out Sunday morning to lower the Flag to half-mast with only one thing on her mind - the memory in her heart of her loved ones.
Firstly, her father, a World War 1 hero, campaigned in the two World Wars and eventually passed away from the effects of mustard gas.
Her brother Jack fought on the Kadoka Track and his ashes are spread over the Stanley Ranges.
Her brother Bobby fought in Korea and has since passed away.
And finally her husband fought in every major campaign in World War 2. She nursed him for years before he passed.
The one thing she could do in their honour and memory she couldn't, because someone misused the freedom it represented to steal it from her flagpole
