We approached the City with the idea and an offer that we would purchase a new flag pole and maintain the flag if the park could be named a Veterans Park." He said, "The flag pole was installed 20 May 2021 and the new flag will be raised on Monday. Thanks to Parks and Recreation for installing the base and to the VFW members that installed the flag pole. We hope that the new name will be such that all Veterans feel it is in honor of them, not just VFW members, or any other veterans organization." 2021-05-21 15:21:29 | Comments | Printable version
