As we drive through the streets on a holiday morning, we all enjoy Old Glory proudly blowing in the breeze. Most of us never stop to wonder just who it is that places the flags for all to enjoy.
Our thanks go to a special group of young men. The boys in Boy Scout troop #311 rise early each holiday and place a flag at designated areas throughout the city.
Troop 311 is under the leadership of Bob Adams.
