By Chief Troy Hipsley
September 9, 2022
Members were honored to participate in Shiloh Middle Schools ceremony of remembrance this morning. Students placed a flag in remembrance of each of the 2,977 killed on 9/11. Chief Hipsley accepted a Freedom Flag that was presented to Shiloh Middle School (one of only 31 in the country and the only one in the state of MD) by the Freedom Foundation for their work in remembering 9/11. Due to a recent policy change the school is unable to fly the flag at the school. The flag will proudly be flown during the month of September in front of our station. Feel free to stop by our station to visit the flag. For more information on the Freedom flag visit www.freedomflagfoundation.org
