Local Scout Troop Raises Flag In Dawn Vets Day Ceremony

Boys Scouts and veterans raised a flag at sunrise on Veterans Day Friday at Veterans Commons in Falls Church, remembering all those who have died serving their country.

At 7:30 a.m., representatives of the troop raised a flag flown over the Capitol that they had received specifically for this purpose at Veterans Common.

In keeping with the wishes of the late Leonard S. Michalowski, Boy Scout Troop 895 has adopted Veterans Commons which is located at junction of Little Falls Street and the Washington and Old Dominion Trail.
