[HCCN] Iraq War Dead Memorial August 1 Blue Hill

[Judith Robbins]

Re: War Dead Memorial maintenance on Saturday August 1st.

At the moment, it appears that we will be able to:

10:00 a.m. pull up the 5,000+ flags

11:00 a.m. mow the field, and reset the flags

The forecast looks dry for tomorrow, but of course there is a lot of  
rain tonight.
In order to be able to mow the field, the flags will need to be  
pulled up at 10:00, then hopefully it will be dry enough to mow.
The flags can then be re-planted.

It will be best if there are a lot of people to help at 10:00.

The War Memorial is located on Main Street, between the Blue Hill  
Public Library and the Congregational Church.
Everyone is invited to participate. This is the 5th year of the Iraq  
War Dead Memorial. As of today, 5,087 US soldiers have been killed in  
Iraq and Afghanistan (4,328 in Iraq, 759 in Afghanistan -- 129 of  
whom have been killed in Afghanistan between January and July this  
year).

Thank you.
