Happy Memorial Day

Memorial Day: a day we honor the men and women of the armed forces who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedom and our way of life. We thank you.

One idea we've been kicking around the Board was to erect a flag pole on Francine Court behind the mail boxes in the center area. We had hoped to complete this project by Memorial Day, but more pressing matters took precedence, namely the emergency cement repair and the dreaded dryer vents. Now we're hoping to have it completed for July Fourth. I've priced a 25 foot fiberglass pole at $250, a good quality flag at $50, and a solar-powered light designed for flag poles at $100.  $400, plus shipping and installation seems like a minimal investment to honor our country and show our pride.

Many of us are veterans and most of us have veterans in the family. All of us are Americans. It seems like a no-brainer to me but we'd still like to hear from you.

What are your thoughts?

      Hi Pat, Thanks for stopping by. Yeah, we're all in agreement with the flag. So far, it's a go.
