A Flag In Every Classroom

Shortly after the events of 9-11 a group of students from Hanover NH Middle and High School gathered around the outside flagpole to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

Several of the students Mothers asked why the pledge wasn't said in the classroom? They were told that several of the classrooms didn't have flags....They discovered that even though State law requires that every student be given the opportunuity to say the Pledge there were many schools that were witout flags!

Thus began Operation Old Glory...

The women embarked on a quest to put a flag in every NH classroom. They worked in tandem with the American Legions who have a mission mandate to supply flags to those who need. After only five years they have managed to place 4,000 flags in 500 schools!

The women are now talking about seting up a website to help other states get flags!

Another example of everyday people...getting things done!
