American Legion Post 10 Donates Flags to New Hanover County Schools

The American Legion Post 10 will donate over fifty American flags to New Hanover County Schools for classrooms, libraries and media centers, at the New Hanover County Board of Education Regular meeting on Tuesday, September 18, 2012.

Last winter, Board of Education Chairman Don Hayes requested district schools to survey their building to ensure that all classrooms had an American flag. The response came from all 42 schools, including requests from media teachers and librarians.

“It seems entirely appropriate for this donation to come on the heels of another 9/11 anniversary. It is important for our students, educators, and community to recognize how grateful we are to live in a free country that provides a quality education and great care for our youth,” said Chairman Hayes. Flag Chairman Harold Davis and Commander David Hartley from the American Legion Post 10 will present the flags which will help fulfill the needs of NHCS.
