By Teresa Bigham/The Hesperian Beacon—
FLOYDADA – On Monday evening Girl Scout Troop 6210 gathered and placed 40 flags around the intersection at the “Y” in honor of the fallen from Sept. 11, 2001.
A few years ago, the troop would place 100 flags around the “Y” but over time many of the flags had to be retired due to them being in poor shape.
Troop 6210 is asking for donations from the public to add to the flags that are placed in honor of 9-11 every year. The new troop leader, Janaphar Williams, said, “The girls in our troop are excited at the possibility of being able to add to the flag collection.”
Troop 6210 will gather the flags up on Monday after school and store them away.
If you would like to donate for the flag fund you contact Janaphar Williams at 325-236-0651. All donations are greatly appreciated.
