Fellow Fictionauts,
Those who are interested in participating in the Flag Day Challenge have only ONE WEEK to do so.
My story is finally up, called "King of the Mountain." Thanks to those who left comments on it. Link here:

I've gotten more reviews in that I've been meaning to post on a few stories, but have not had time yet. Look for those tomorrow afternoon and Wednesday on the Flag Day Challenge page on my website, which can be found here: http://www.kevinmyrick.com/?page_id=2294
Leader board stands at the moment with Pleiku Jacket in first place: http://www.fictionaut.com/stories/jane-hammons/pleiku-jacket-2

I'll be posting a reminder later on this week for those who might have forgotten.
Remember the rules: all ORIGINAL pieces must use the words "flag" and "patriot" somewhere in the piece and can be poetry or fiction. All entries are due by 11:59 p.m. your local time on June 14.
Hoist the flag and grab your pens folks, it's time to get those stories done!
