Lest We Forget – Memorial Flag Display
Out of the Woods and Our Town Belfast, a Main Street Community, are working together to display veteran’s burial flags on Memorial Day, May 28, 2012.
This display will honor all U.S. veterans, and will be available for public viewing at 48 Main Street on May 24th to May 27th. The flags will then be moved to the mall at 171 High Street for Memorial Day viewing. The public is invited to view the flags at both locations.
We are asking that those who have burial flags they are willing to share for this display contact us by May 23rd at 338-2692 (Out of the Woods) or 323-9100 (Our Town Belfast). The flags will be handled with the tremendous respect they are due, and will be returned promptly after Memorial Day.
“We know that many people have flags they treasure and some will not want them to leave home. We will be consider it a privilege to list the names of those veterans with the display,” according to Dorothy Havey, Executive Director of Our Town Belfast. “We expect the display to be a simple yet moving tribute to those veterans who touched our lives, served our country and defended our freedom,” adds Coleen Marsh, manager at Out of the Woods.
