10 DECember 2008 York Daily Record : LETTER TO THE EDITOR Thanks to Flag Display Supporters For four years, American flags have been multiplying along the hillside at Prospect Hill Cemetery. The army of red, white and blue symbolizes individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq and Afghanistan. This week, volunteers and one York County family who lost a son to these conflicts dismantled the memorial for the winter. As we retire the flag display, we would like to thank those who supported the project in so many ways. Read the entire letter of thanks here.
