WOODLAND HILLS SUBDIVISION DEDICATES FLAGPOLE
| The
residents of Woodland Hills Subdivision rallied together this
weekend to show their unified spirit as neighbors and Americans.
Over 150 residents gathered in Melrose Park to dedicate their
newly erected 35' flagpole and to attend a memorial service for
both the fallen victims and the heroes in the September 11th
tragedy. The flagpole was strategically placed in the park so that
anyone driving through Colleyville on Martin Parkway could enjoy
the beautiful sight. The granite plaque at the base of the pole
reads:
"May we remember the victims, honor the heroes, stop the violence, and lead the world toward justice, compassion, and peace." (Mausert-Mooney 2001) The ceremony took place Sunday, December 9th at 3:00 p. m. Guests attending were as follows: |
