Boy Scouts and Flag Etiquette

Boy Scouts William Ogles and Rob Wheeler demonstrated the proper way to fold the American flag and explained the meaning of each fold. They also described the proper and respectful way to dispose of a torn and worn out flag. Regent Carrie Ann Bright presented each of them with a Certificate of Recognition.

December's Defense Meeting

Our December meeting was a wonderful luncheon at the home of Jane and Gail Yates. Our featured speaker was Col. Wayne Key, US Army, Ret. He presented an in depth report of military life and the national defense of our country. Sharing many personal accounts he gave us the understanding of the challenges of the Department of Defense's objectives. Thank you Col. Wayne Key.
