Veterans' Day Avenue of Flags

At 7 a.m. today, volunteers gathered on the courthouse lawn to put up 300 flags in honor of our veterans. For the first hour, the flags hung in a grey fog. After awhile the sun came out and the wind started whipping them around. It's quite a sight.














If I was real cool, I would set it up so you can click on photos to see them bigger, but I am not there yet. Six photos is a bit much for one entry, but I couldn't resist.

The Veterans Ave of Flags and the Flags displayed on Grand Ave, is one of my Favorite Spencer Traditions because as a young High Schooler I would help my dad put all the flags up and take them down while he was the commander of the American Legion Post. It was such a learning experience to witness our Veterans sharing stories and displaying the flags.
