Posted in Events, GHDC Blog at 7:30 am by M Beauregard

Volunteers are needed Sunday to place the flags (now over 4500) and read names throughout the weekend.  Come donate some of your time to this worthy group which has been honoring the Iraq War dead since the war began and before anti-war sentiment was commonplace.  Flag honorees include veteran suicides and innocent Iraqi civilians.
