Mesa View Senior Living flagpole is dedicated Friday

Body

Welcome Mesa View residents and staff, family, visitors, and members of American Legion Post 56. Thank you for being here.

American flags and flagpoles are so common that we often take them for granted. They are as common as, well, apple pie and football. They are so common that a recent visitor to the United States complained that American flags cluttered up the scenery and observed that in her country seeing a national flag was a rarity.
