Madville Times: Never Forget -- Avenue of Flags at Lake County Courthouse

Claimer: My Blog, My POV

Occasionally, I will mention my job, my public service activities, and other aspects of my life to offer my readers a better perspective on where I'm coming from. But to be clear:

"The views that I express represent my own opinions, based on my own education and experience, not the opinions of any other entity, party, or group to which I belong. I give these opinions in my individual capacity, as a private citizen, and as someone who gives a good gosh darn about his community, his country, and the truth."
In other words: my blog, my words, my point of view. Enjoy!

Never Forget -- Avenue of Flags at Lake County Courthouse

Avenue of Flags, Lake County Courthouse, Madison, South Dakota, Memorial Day, 2008.05.26

Memorial Day brings the Avenue of Flags display to the Lake County Courthouse here in Madison.

Each flag honors a Lake County veteran. Each pole also carries a small plaque honoring a veteran.

The flags fly until 4 p.m. this afternoon. (Volunteers are welcome -- if you have a moment this afternoon, come help take these flags down.)
