Former Marine, 94, in US town makes hand-painted American flags for anyone who will display them
Bay Shore, New York
ABREW Street, a short, leafy stretch lined with modest cape-style homes in this town on the South Shore of Long Island, serves as a shortcut to the local mall, and stands out to the sharp eye because many of its houses bear an identical homemade American flag made of wood slats.
They are the handiwork of Gerald Goldman, 94, who served in World War II in the Marine Corps, and who now claims distinction as having the longest tenure - 61 years - on Abrew Street.
