- A Texas teenager paid tribute to a friend who was killed on duty for the Army with a patriotic landscaping effort. Cameron James, 17, mowed a large American flag pattern into the front lawn of his family's home in Haslet Texas. James said his friend was killed last week in Arizona, inspiring his tribute. "Our mower has different settings, so I just changed the settings so the grass would be different lengths for the stripes," said James, who used a weed eater to carve 50 "stars" in the top left of his flag design. He said it took him about four hours, but "it was worth it."
