NAME: Paul “Red” Gardner OCCUPATION: Former Navy 2nd Class Machinist Mate, USS Dubuque LDP8 RESIDENCE: Bankers Hill HIS STORY: Nearly every day, “Red” Gardner sits under a bright yellow beach umbrella at the foot of Pacific Beach Drive where he proudly waves his Stars and Stripes in honor of fellow servicemen. “There’s people fighting and dying out there and nobody cares,” he said. “I care. And this my way of showing I care.” This is a military town, Gardner said. “Ships go by and the men see the flag and I’ll salute them as they go.”
