Many of our members participated in the creation of the beautiful flag that was the back drop for the entire presentation. The flag was made up of hand made red, white, and blue roses. Many hours went in to accomplishing this.

Melinda Sillman member of the Flag Committee had so many people stopping in to help assemble the flags that the task was completed in 3 days! Everyone was so excited to participate and without exception all spoke of love of country and memories of that fatefull day.
