Marty Michelson and others Flag Service Committee members reported that the Golden Corral Buffet Restaurant in Springfield made special arrangements to display 30 flags. Club members installed these flags (image above and on left), and they were not removed following the fourth of July holiday. They make a beautiful display around the building and numerous diners have commented positively on the flags. This set of flags will be left in place through Veterans Day. Thanks to Barry Tobias for providing these images.
 
Other crews retrieved flags for our regular customers after the Fourth of July Holiday. Flags installation for the Labor Day holiday (September 2) will begin starting on August 26 and flags must be installed by dusk on August 30. Flags will removed following the commemoration of Patriots Day (September 11). See Roger Randolph's article below and his August 15 email for more information.  Thanks to Ken Gilmore and Megan Styles for these images.
