Waste Management contacted the county's Veterans Service Office and the American Legion last fall wanting to properly dispose of damaged American flags brought to their facilities. We took in some 100 flags and our boy and girl scouts properly and honorably retired them along with the some 2000 others last fall. What was obviously needed and desired at Waste Management was a proper collection box. So let it be said … so let it be done.
Thank you NUHSD CTE Space Program and students.
Please visit waste management, BNC hardware, Hills Flat Lumber, GVPD, the Union, the VSO Office or McKnight Center, in this part of Nevada county to use the collection boxes. Flags are routinely collected, stored and once again will be properly retired by our scouts in the fall.
The Nevada County First Responders Association wants to be ready and is preparing to honor deceased first responders and veteran victims they encounter in their emergency responses Each rescue vehicle will be equipped with an American flag in order to honor those victims at the scene when encountered Mike Stewart the head of the association and I are working to equip those vehicles with flags. I write this to complement our first responders, Fire Chief Mike, Hooper & Weaver and B&C Hardware who will be helping supply the flags. Our color guard will help the scouts properly fold these flags.
We should all be proud of how this building, honoring our veterans, helps this community's families and kids. We just staged our annual scout bowling games and at the same time the upper floors of the building were packed with families and kids around 8 years old playing games, bonding and getting exercise. I'd guesstimate 300 kids in the 6 hours it was open. A healthy America's future... Good concept... Thank you Post 130 and Nevada County for the right focus.
