Gold Star Mothers present Cabell County with commemorative flag, plan living memorial
Summary
Gold Star Mothers presented Cabell County with a Gold Star Mothers flag and announced a living memorial on April 6, 2019 at Beech Fork State Park Campground, including planting 60 trees — one per county — and invited volunteers.
Representatives of Gold Star Mothers, Belinda Jividen and Shirley White, presented Cabell County with the organization’s flag at the March 28, 2019 commission meeting and explained the symbolism of the flag for families of service members who died while serving. They said Cabell County is the first county in West Virginia to be presented with the flag.
The presenters invited the community to a living memorial on April 6, 2019 at Beech Fork State Park Campground at 11:00 a.m., describing plans to plant 60 trees (one for each county, five representing the military services, and one for the National Guard). They invited volunteers to participate and to bring shovels.
The commission received the presentation as part of its public recognition items; no formal vote was required.
