Group commemorates Flag Day

"ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Sunday was Flag Day. It's a day that's often overlooked, but a group of military families in Albuquerque said they want to change that.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help Byzantine Catholic Church in northeast Albuquerque held a special mass to honor and remember those who lost their lives fighting for the U.S.
For those at the service, Flag Day cannot be ignored.
'Until I was a Blue Star Mother it was just one of those holidays that flew under the radar, you didn't really do anything,' Joan Thomson said.
Thomson's son is in the military, making her a Blue Star Mother.
Several Blue Star Mothers attended the service Sunday."
