Remebering our fallen soldiers

Nearly 5200 flags were pushed into the ground at Prospect Hill Cemetery in York, one each to remember every soldier, sailor and Marine killed in the War on Terror in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The flags were transported from Hefner Funeral Home, escorted by almost 100 Patriot Guard riders and York County Sheriff’s Deputies that shut down traffic along Route 30 to allow the procession to pass.

The flags were installed on a hill near the entrance to Prospect Hill by Gold Star Mothers and family, the Patriot Guard, York County Sheriff’s and volunteers. It took about one hour for the hill to transform from a green lawn to a red, white and blue sea of flags.
