Was notified today that my command and the Cleveland Browns approved my request to have my retirement flag flown over Cleveland Browns stadium during the Steelers game. They hinted that I may be receiving other memorabilia and/or autographs too, but too me the flag is the most important thing.
For those of you that have no clue what I am talking about, when you retire from the military, you are presented with an American Flag and can have it flown just about anywhere you like.
So for those of you that will be attending the game, if you see the flag, it will be the one that will be placed in my shadowbox. Now I just need a Browns WIN!!

That is sweet!
I'm guessing that it isn't the main big flag (or is it?), so where's it going to be in the stadium?
I am unfamiliar with this feeling of optimism

I am not sure, that is at their discretion. I will know the specifics when I am presented with it, will have a certificate and such as well.

Congratulations, sounds amazing... Hope somebody will get a picture. 
I want the Cleveland Browns to be my pallbearers so they can let me down for the last time.

But in a good way right? I went on a Carnaval Cruise last year and it was fantastic!
Anyway Congrats Navy. I look forward to seeing something important to a big Browns fan fly over the best place in the world.

Telling people your flag flew at CBS, is pretty cool. Hopefully a Browns win will make that story much better.

I didn't know that. What a great show or respect for retiring military people, BTW.
Excellent choice on where to have it flown! I'm not American but if I were, I'd think about seeing if CBS would put it up. lol... Congratulations
