Hope’s Troop 5 placed American flags on the graves of US Veterans at Rose Hill and Memory Gardens Cemeteries on Memorial Day morning.  Following some comments and a prayer by Troop 5 Committee  Chairman Keenan Williams the group divided into 5 teams and placed several hundred American flags. This has been a Memorial Day tradition of the Hope Scouts for 30 years. Flags

were purchased by the Hope Lions Club, Hope Kiwanis Club and Hope Rotary Club.
