The flag site exits because of the vision and dedication of
prior Committees with the generosity of the citizens of Somerset County,
PA.
The current Committee is committed to the long-term maintenance of the
flag site,
which is dedicated to all Somerset County veterans and to the flag pole
which is dedicated to the Flight 93 heroes
If successful, our work will never be finished.

The flag was lowered October 9, 2014 for
the year.

Wednesday July 16, 2014

The Committee lowered the flag for
repairs on Saturday July 12, 2014
We have another flag ready and plan to raise
it July 16 at 6:00PM, weather permitting.
Having enough manpower to raise the flag and the possibility of high
winds caused the delay.

With the help of Veterans, Jaycees,
Rotary, Boy Scouts and SAR, Old Glory was raised in honor of
our Veterans.
The flag raised was one of our
flags damaged in last year's winds. Repairs were made by the
skilled workers at Abilene Boot Company. She received her
first stress test in Saturday afternoon's winds.
Quality Inn Master Painter, Donald Grenn, applied a new
coat of paint to our barriers Saturday.
A "Quality" improvement.
