It was my pleasure, along with Marine Corps League Patriot Detachment 1230 Commandant Dick Weaver and Senior Vice Commandant Neil Clark, to show the 6th grade students of Holland Elementary School how to properly fold the American Flag. We also explained the meaning of each fold and why the flag is a symbol of what this Country is all about. We also answered some questions posed by the students and teachers. Special thanks to teachers Amy Smith, Frank Murphy and Andrea Mangold.
