What out new troop 1808 of Daisies and Brownie’s did was on Flag Day we went and put flags on a historic Family Confederates grave yard that is a small cemetery in the neighborhood that is forgotten about as it small, the family big party of our Community and but graveyard not publicized as much as house and courthouse that is associated with the family. We did a lesson on family and how even this small graveyards are an important part of history and should not be forgotten it’s a part of our community history and made out community what it is today. We also discussed what flag laying was and importance of being respectful of placement of flags and how to handle a flag. Here is the picture that was shared in our local newspaper the Greensburg Record Herald in Greensburg, KY.
