Memorial Day Tradition for Hudson man turns heads and touches hearts
HUDSON, Ohio — Lou Smith spends his Memorial Day like most, with his family and friends cooking in the sun. The Hudson native and veteran said the holiday, though, isn’t a happy one for him.
More often than not, he’s flagged down by people honking, taking pictures or asking who is responsible for the display in his front yard on Stow Road in Hudson. They’re in awe of the display in his front yard: a display of more than 3,000 American Flags. Now every Friday before Memorial Day, with the help of dozens of volunteers, Smith places the flags throughout his land, to be ready by Monday.It’s a site to behold for people like Sheridan.“Anybody that comes by and beeps the horn, I like it. I smile every time, literally, every time,” he said. “Feel free to take pictures or videos. I love to see it.
