each fold and what each represents. Dean Merrill was presented the flag on behalf of Madison Square Assisted Living. Merrill
was a soldier who landed on Normandy Beach. The troops marched up to where Hitler was said to be, but by the time the
troops arrived, Hitler had already killed his girlfriend and himself.
