It is about time. Thank you to all of those honorable people that have helped to fly this symbol and let the world know that "we will not forget our POW/MIAs."
Task Force Omega of KY Inc. will be leaving the BP/Days Inn Parking lot in
Mt. Sterling, KY at 8:00 AM to go to the Shelbyville Rest Area on I-64 for
the POW/MIA Flag Raising. EVERYONE is welcome to go with us or met us there
at the Shelbyville Rest Area.

Subject: Fw: POW/MIA Flags finally going up at Kentucky Rest Areas
POW/MIA Flags are going up at Kentucky Rest Areas
Ceremonial events are planned for Wednesday, April 15th at 10 AM
at the following Rest Areas throughout Kentucky:
1. Shelbyville, KY Rest Area - Main Event
2. I-24 East Bound in McCracken County
3. I-65 North Bound in Simpson County
4. I-75 Northbound in Scott County
5. I-75 in Whitley County
As part of the ceremony, the plan is to coordinate raising these
flags at ALL these Rest Areas at the same time.
The Transportation Cabinet will prepare a media advisory and send
it out to all media outlets for photo opportunities.
PLEASE pass this on to your Organizations and request they show
up at their nearest Rest Area. I realize that most people are working,
which is even more apparent that the ones that aren't, come to the
Ceremony. We have been fighting for this for a long time
