Holley's military men were out in full force for the recent flag dedication ceremony in the village's Public Square. "With the installation and dedication of the flags we're enhancing the village's existing memorial," Mayor Skip Carpenter said. "Today more history is being made in our village as we honor those courageous young men and women who are serving (in the armed services)." Assemblyman Charlie Nesbitt, who served in the military, was on hand for the ceremony. "Today we celebrate the ideals and ethics of service because those who serve put themselves in harms' way on our behalf every day," Nesbitt said. Chuck Pulaksi, commander of the American Legion, said the flags are a "precious symbol of all who have lived, fought and died for the United States." September 25, 2005 |
