A HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY SURPRISE – Anyone driving down Main Street in Kiowa, Kansas, on the Fourth of July couldn't help feeling proud to be an American and live in the land of the free and the home of the brave. That's when they saw this huge American flag waving high over Main Street as it was secured by Simpson's boom trucks. Also adding to the patriotism were smaller versions of Old Glory secured up and down Main Street. Several volunteered early in the morning to give this gift to the community on America's 242nd birthday as an independent nation.
