Collin Kelly
What happens when decades of military tradition meets a firey Massachuesetts nine year old and the two lockup in a contest of wills?
The nine year old wins of course.
Collin Kelly, age nine of Framingham MA decided he wanted to decorate the graves fallen, and in some cases forgotten veterans. Unfortunately the military cemetary only allowed family members to do so. After a short battle between Collin, who enlisted the aid of powerful allies like his Mom, and a few veterans, the buerocracy that threatened to choke the civic ardor of someone sure to be among the leadership of the next generation, Collin and his allies won. The graves were decorated in time for Memorial Day.
