Summary
The court granted the Rebecca Crockett Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, permission to place a wreath, garden flags and 13 U.S. flags on the courthouse lawn to commemorate the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary and Flag Day.
The Cooke County Commissioners Court approved a request from the Rebecca Crockett Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution to place a wreath, two garden flags and 13 U.S. flags on the northwest corner of the courthouse lawn to mark the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary and Flag Day.
Linda Moore, regent for the Rebecca Crockett chapter, told the court the group planned a small ceremony on June 14 or the evening before, weather permitting, and asked to keep the display in place until June (the month stated in the request). Moore said the 13 flags represent the 13 original colonies and that volunteers would monitor and retrieve the display if weather damaged it.
Commissioner Hollowell moved to approve the request; Commissioner Snuggs seconded. The court voted unanimously in favor.
Moore thanked the court after the vote and said the chapter would proceed with the planned commemoration.
