Members of the Prattville SCV Camp 1524 went to work Saturday morning 9/25/2021 at the I-65 Battle Flag site. Scaffolding was rented and brought to site by Commander Waldo and Flag Chairman David Smith. After erecting all the scaffolding a large wasp nest with about 75 wasps blocked immediate work until they were sprayed to remove them. A top billboard support timber was installed between the telephone poles along with nine sheets of treated plywood. This lumber was installed on the back side of the billboard to reinforce to keep high winds from damaging the sign. Compatriot Mike Thomas used his chain saw to fell a dead tree and cut it to shorter lengths. Compatriot Rob Schwartz brought a friend Thomas Griffith to help with the work and together, along with Quartermaster Bill Myrick, the men made quick work of the job scope. They also greeted some cars stopped along the interstate taking pictures with smiles and waves. Long may Dixie's flag fly high.
