Massive Interstate Battle Flag Returns on I-81 Near Lexington



Motorists traveling a busy stretch of Interstate 81 near Lexington for the past few months who have missed the massive battle flag that has flown high on a hill for several years, will be THRILLED to learn that after an extended absence, the I-81 Lexington Memorial Battle Flag is BACK UP AND FLYING HIGH! 
 
The 20'x30' battle flag was raised on the 80' pole this afternoon, shortly after repairs were completed. 
 
 
 
HUGE SHOUTOUT AND THANK YOU to the the men of the 10th Platoon, 2nd Btn, Co A, Va SCV MC who stepped up at the very last minute to get this done when our Guardian of the flag was called out of state suddenly for a family emergency. We are so grateful for their willingness to jump right in and give of their time and resources on VERY short notice and get her back up and flying!
God bless each and every one who volunteers to help maintain our 34 flag sites across the Commonwealth, and each one of YOU whose generous support makes it all possible!

I take a trip to Virginia twice annually from my home in Louisiana. When passing through the Lexington area (I no longer visit Lexington), I always look for the flag. It will be good to see it flying again when I make my next visit in October.

Great! Thank you. The more flags flown the better. This is the answer to removing the negativity. Now Lexington needs to stop removing names and monuments.
