Thankful for the Flag in Edmonton

By Cynthia A Meyer

Even though Thanksgiving may have passed as we are now approaching the Christmas Season I am thankful to Sumitomo Electrical Wiring Systems and the City of Edmonton in Metcalfe County for putting forth the effort to erect and maintain the huge American Flag that furls in the wind as you travel the area the Cumberland Parkway or where 68 and Industrial Drive intersect.

It is difficult not to get a lump in one's throat or a tear come your eye no matter how many times you pass by. Nor can one forget when the flag once hung across Highway 68 from the tallest fire engines to salute a local fallen law officer. The massive flag stands tall gallantly blowing in the breeze proudly watching over its sleepy little town.

Many have served under our flag, to those who came home, to those who came home broken, and those that did not come home. It is never too late to say "Thank you." I wish more towns and counties had the same pride as those in Edmonton in Metcalfe County.
