Flying the flag(s) on The Fourth

Take a walk among the Stars-and-Stripes remembering, honoring Americans

The Good Samaritan Society-Mountain Lake’s Walkway of Flags was on display over the Fourth of July weekend. The Walkway of Flags is designed to honor everyday men and women – saluting the courage of men and women, whether they served in the armed forces or not; as well as having what it takes to raise a family, teach a class, or work on a farm, ranch or for a small business.

The sidewalks at Mountain Lake City Park at the Veterans Memorial were lined with small American flags, each flag bearing the name of a person remembered or honored through a gift to Good Samaritan Society-Mountain Lake. Following the weekend, the flags will be displayed throughout July around the grounds of the Good Samaritan Society communities – The Village and The Lodge. These flags will stand as a powerful testament to the courage of the one whose name is designated on each one.

All proceeds collected from the flags will be used to improve the lives of those living at Good Samaritan Society-Mountain Lake communities – all courageous everyday folks in their own right. Those making a donation may even select the project they support – including a laptop for resident/tenant use,  outdoor water feature, piano or endowment funds.
