For the fifth consecutive year, the Virginia War Memorial is honoring the nearly 12,000 Virginia men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice in service to Virginia and the United States by planting 12,000 American flags on the hill alongside the Shrine of Memory. The flags were placed on the hill June 23 by more than 150 volunteers, including Virginia’s First Lady Suzanne Youngkin, soldiers from Fort Gregg-Adams and various Boy Scouts troops. Volunteers are needed to help removed them tomorrow. “We are again asking for your assistance in helping the Virginia War Memorial recruit volunteers to assist in removing the flags on Friday, July 14, at 8 a.m.,” said Jeb Hockman, senior communications adviser, Virginia Department of Veterans Services. Volunteers may show up at Virginia War Memorial, 621 S. Belvidere St. to help with this effort. More information is available at www.vawarmemorial.org/events/hillofheroesday/ or by calling 804.362.2333.
