This was a relatively small ceremony compared to the one
we attended in 2009. The William Barron Chapter of Tyler
holds this ceremony each year in June. They had approximately
150 flags which are collected by and folded by the Tyler Fire
Department. Fred Preston, past Pres. of the Lt. Nathan Gann
Chapter in Lufkin brought 80 flags collected in Angelina County.
