Cameron Blasek an 18 year old from West Harrison, Indiana, stood firm for his beliefs when his school asked him to remove the American Flag from his truck. His story went viral, leading to widespread support and honors from various organizations, including the VFW and the American Legion. GCI Digital wrapped his truck in the American Flag, and he received awards from Ohio State Representative Cindy Abrams and the Fox Nation Patriotic Awards.
Jaxon Lynn Dugger was an amazing young man who was very patriotic. Jaxon showed so much courage and determination during his eleven years battling Cancer. Jaxon was wise beyond his years. He had a heart of gold and loved everyone. On April 15, 2024 Jaxon took his last breath on earth; 18 days before he was to turn 14 years old.
