## Story

According to the Columbus Dispatch, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK mover Brodie Miller found a 70-year-old burial flag in the closet of a Randor, Pennsylvania home that belonged to fallen Army 2nd Lt. Gerald Hamilton. The homeowner, William Hamiltion, hired the moving company to assist with the cleanout of the home when he was moving his mother into a senior care facility. Miller was cleaning out the upstairs closet when he discovered a cardboard box with the flag inside.

As the son of war veteran, Miller knew how important this find would be to the family. "It’s one of the most valuable things I have in my life," Miller told the Columbus Dispatch. "When I went downstairs and talked to the homeowners, I told him my story and I said, 'I don’t want you to throw this away.' It was extremely rewarding."

Now, the flag is with Hamilton, who also has other war memorabilia items from his uncle.
