Saw these flags at Sandburg MIddle School as well last night and was wondering what they were for. So glad this was done and hope it serves as a stark reminder for those that gave everything for our freedoms.

This is wonderful. In my day, shamefully, many college-age people spit (literally) on returning Viet Nam veterans. It appears these students at York have their heads on straight. Good for them.
