Savannah Bacon, Donna Loomis, and Frankie Smith place U.S. Flags for Memorial Day
The Friday before Memorial Day, the fourth grade class of Donna Loomis made their way to the Whitehall Cemetery to place United States Flags at the graves of Veterans.
Loomis, who also serves as a Colonel in the Montana Air National Guard, said the project was part of a civics lesson where the students learned about the origins of Memorial Day. She also wanted the students to know it was much more than a three-day weekend.
