On Friday, June 3rd between 2:30am and 2:40am a group of what appears to be teenagers stole the United States flag from the Veterans’ Memorial at Eagle Park. We are asking that it be returned to the City. The Veterans’ Memorial is a place that honors those who have served our country and many people have worked hard and dedicated their time to make it a wonderful monument to the sacrifices of the men, women, and families of our armed forces.
Please, if you have any information, call City Hall at 505-966-2730.
