Volunteers placed over 800 flags along the road to the beach at WWMSP. The ground is hard from the drought, so holes must be created so the flags' wooden sticks don't break while they are being set.
Liberty Fire and Rescue and College Corner Fire Department created this display, which included a 20' x 35' US flag.
Many thanks to Liberty Fire and Rescue and College Corner Fire Department for the US Flag display.
The procession included an IDNR Conservation Officer, two ISP Troopers, County Sherrif/Deputies, Liberty Police, Members of the Patriot Guard, our own Range Master (also Army National Guard--retired) and various retired military personnel in vintage vehicles escorting the Moving Wall into WWMSP.
