In this photo taken July 2, Ed Lawrence, a firefighter in Wheeling, W.V., helps hang a giant 40 foot long American Flag from two ladder trucks during an "Honor Our Troops" event as part of a 4th of July weekend celebration honoring the U.S. military troops. The event was sponsored by Boatsie's Boxes, a non-profit agency that supports the troops year round, and Cabela's.
