New Flag being Dedicated to Veterans

Friday, December 16, the Vermilion High School Boys Varsity Basketball team will be squaring off against the Edison Chargers at 7 p.m. However, before the start of the game, the Vermilion Athletic Boosters are pleased to dedicate the gymnasium's new United States flag to our veterans. 

The new flag is 18-feet by 12-feet and retractable, so it can be lowered and raised for the national anthem prior to games and events. Right above the flag is a banner that says "Honoring Our Veterans" and "Go Sailors" directly below that. 

The athletic boosters purchased this flag as a donation to the school, and locally-owned Sattelight Electric donated the cost of installation in honor of our veterans. 

The Midview JROTC Color Guard will be there to present the colors for the National Anthem, and Mr. Cliff German will be announcing for the ceremony. The community is welcome to come early for this ceremony and then stay for the game. 

Vermilion Boosters president, Ron Meyer suggests arriving around 6:30 to ensure you can get in and seated for the dedication. All active and former military will get in free with a military I.D. Additionally, the first 600 people will receive small flags with their admission. For more information, contact Meyer at 440-225-9082.
