George Ousley's explanation for the inspiration to paint a giant American flag on the roof of his barn just outside Fulton on state Route HH was simple: He simply wanted to show support for his fellow veterans.
"I did my time, and I thought this would be a way to honor people that have served," he said.
Ousley himself did three tours in Vietnam with the U.S. Navy in 1966, '67 and '68 as a machinist.
