Volunteers Beautify Gold Star Battalion Beach

Dozens of volunteers helped spruce up Gold Star Battalion Beach Saturday in Huntington.

They were taking part in Councilwoman Susan A. Berland's annual “Keep Huntington Beautiful.” Together, they planted orange, yellow and “Janie” marigolds and Blue Hawaii in each of the flower beds and at the WWII Veteran’s “Gold Star Battalion Memorial” and cleaned up waste on the beach.

Among the volunteers were the young leaders – high school students from the Huntington and South Huntington school districts. There were also Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts from across Huntington.

“We had a wonderful time planting flowers on a beautiful Saturday afternoon,” Berland said. 

“I would like to thank our volunteers who dedicated their Saturday morning to beautifying Gold Star Battalion Beach," she added. "They did a tremendous job.”
