Vietnam Veterans Day Observed
Flag Folding Ceremony
Local veterans have observed this day for many years. But this year was special. This year volunteers gathered to rehearse and then perform a formal flag folding ceremony – perhaps a world record.
This was more than a large flag and more than a large community response. This was a personal moment for each of those who gripped the edges of our nation’s flag and reflected on their memories of service long ago in a foreign land.
