Youth Board
The Linden Youth Advisory Board convened in
August to get the 2010-2011 year underway, and
thanks to Woodmen of the World and Byron Vice, the
Youth Advisors have already completed their first
civic project. The following paragraph is an excerpt
from the letter (delivered with each flag) which
explains the project:
In this difficult period of our nation’s struggle to
overcome the economic crisis that has affected us all –
some certainly more than others – the Linden Youth
Advisors sought a project that would signify our belief
that no matter how difficult the circumstances, our
nation is still blessed by the Almighty hand of God.
Nothing seemed to speak that message quite so clearly
as the simple act of proudly flying and humbly saluting
the American flag – the symbol that reminds us that
while we are individuals who enjoy the rights afforded
by that grand old banner of stars and stripes, we are
also collectively one nation under God.
It was with that thought in mind that the Linden
Youth Advisors determined that it would be simply
amazing to fill Linden with vibrant, new American
flags for every available flagpole. Because of the
generosity of Woodmen of the World, who provided
the flags at no cost to the Linden Youth Advisors, and
the willing service of Byron Vice, who delivered the
flags immediately upon learning of the proposed
project, the Linden Youth Advisors were able to
present flags to all of the schools, banks, and
government buildings in Linden. A total of a dozen
flags were (or will be) presented as a part of the
project. The Youth Advisors would like to thank
Byron Vice and Woodmen of the World for making
this patriotic project possible. To each recipient of a
flag, the Youth Advisors say, “Fly it with pride in our
country and gratitude for the blessings of one nation
under God.”
The Linden Youth Advisors posed for pictures
with three of the recipients of the flags: Coach
Robbie James, headmaster of Marengo Academy;
Judge Cindy Neilsen, Marengo County Courthouse;
and Timothy Thurman, principal of Linden High
School.
