WARNING FLAG

WARNING FLAG

As a boy living in New Jersey, summertime was a time to enjoy going to the beach!  Sandy Hook Beach along the Atlantic Ocean was such fun in my childhood.  I remember those life guards on those tall chairs way high up with their sun glasses and binoculars scanning over the water while people swam and splashed in the ocean, with their boats and those tall tethered red flags...awaiting deployment, just in case... with Coast Guard helicopters flying back and forth watching from the air.  I remember seeing the flags go up.
