VETERAN’S DAY OBSERVANCE

Tue, 11/14/2023 - 12:00am

VETERAN’S DAY OBSERVANCE -- Area second grade students were presented American Flags and holders as part of a Veterans Day observance. Council Oak DAR flag chairman, Pat Schneider, told each class some facts about the American Flag. Responses to the questions of the students were impressive, as the students knew much about the flag symbolism. The Council Oak Chapter assumed this long-standing event when Don Peterson’s health was failing. He had been doing this for many years with the help of Lowell Scripter, who made the holders for the flags. Each holder has two holes for flags. The second hole is for the Kansas flag to be presented next January. The Adams Hardware of Council Grove supplied the American Flags for the students.
