‘Flags for the Fallen’ at Marywood University

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Marywood University volunteers work on a “Flags for the Fallen” display, which will be finished in time for Memorial Day weekend. Volunteers are placing the flags in the university’s Tree Stadium at North Washington Avenue and Seminary Street in Scranton through Friday so that the community can pause to reflect on the sacrifices of those who have served, especially those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
