American Legion Auxiliary readies flags for service
AMARILLO, TEXAS -- If you are making plans for this weekend's Memorial Day holiday, you are not the only one.
We caught up with a group from the American Legion Auxiliary who are preparing flags to honor heroes on Monday.
The Auxiliary were un-rolling and cleaning up some 3,000 flags that will be used during the memorial service at the Llano Cemetery at 10:00 AM.
Folks there said they have been doing this service for years and even though it is a full day of work it's worth it to honor soldiers.
"We do it to say thank you to those who have served our country," Gold Star Mother Edna Berry said, "the things we have, the privileges we have have been at a great price; freedom is not free, it cost a lot of bloodshed."
Berry said she has been taking care of these flags, for more than 40 years.
