Volunteers are busy on this hot Sunday afternoon setting out approximately 500 American flags to honor the life of Samuel Shehorn who passed away last week. The project is made possible through The Flag Man’s Mission Continues which sets up flags at the funerals of fallen heros. Shehorn served in the Marines and Illinois National Guard and his brother Rodney says the response of volunteers to put out the flags was overwhelming for the family… 

Rodney said his brother was intensely devoted to his country and the military….

 Jeff Hastings heads up The Flag Man’s Mission Continues and he outlines the group’s goal….

Volunteers met at noon today at Keepes Funeral Home and were given bundles of flags to distribute throughout the city. Volunteers will also be needed tomorrow at 5:00 to take down the flags. Donations to the group can be made at https://www.theflagmanmission.org/make-a-donation
