Our American flag will be flying on patriotic holidays to
honor our Veterans and Military Personnel on Memorial
Day, Flag Day, Fourth of July, POW-MIA Day and
Veterans Day.
A Tribute Flag may be purchased for $75 in honor or memory of
your veteran or military family.
The Alabama Veterans Museum and Archives will have on permanent
display a plaque with the names of each person honored with a
Flag.
The 100 plus Flags will be sited on utility poles to be flown on Highway
31 and on Hobbs Street in Athens.
Woodmen of the World member, Tom Ed Wright,
gave 50
flags from his organization to start this project in 2009. The flags
are kept for each individual for placement and
storage for the designated holidays.
