PLYMOUTH — Ken Kiel, 73, has worn a replica of the American flag every day since September 11, 2001.
“I can’t remember missing a single day,” he said. “It’s like putting your pants on.”
In addition to his clothing, Ken and Sandy Kiel, his wife of 50 years, fly the colors at their home and Ken has three flag decals on his truck, one on each side and one on the trailer hitch.
The second of 10 children, Ken said that all of his life he has recognized America to be a place of opportunity.
And it has been — though it required a lot of hard work.

MARSHALL CO. — Drivers who regularly travel U.S. 6 between U.S. 31 and Lilac Road will need to take a different route beginning September 17.
This section of the road will be closed for six days, from September 17-22 to allow for construction on the new U.S. 31 bypass.
Matt Deitchley, media relations director for INDOT, advised Monday that the official detour route from U.S. 31 will be U.S. 30 East to S.R. 331, and back to U.S. 6.
PLYMOUTH — Courtney Hersick finished with a Texas hat trick, the Plymouth offense poured on the pressure from the opening whistle to the closing buzzer, and the Lady Rockies snapped a three-game skid with a lopsided 9-0 win over visiting John Glenn Monday.
Hersick opened and closed the scoring while notching four goals at Monday’s contest, putting Plymouth on the board with an unassisted run in the second minute, and dribbling one in from in close with just a few seconds remaining to seal the Lady Rockies the victory at home at Kindt Field.
