2012 Stars For Our Troops Tally
A final tally is in! In 2012 Gettysburg Flag Works received 2787 flags for the Stars for our Troops program. Of those flags 1676 were of a usable size which works out to 60% of the flags. With the usable flags we were then able to make 83,800 pouched stars to thank that many soldiers or veterans! Wow, talk about a reach! Thank you to everyone who has participated or shared the program from the bottom of our hearts!
Keep the flags coming… we know the troops haven’t stopped ; )
I am just wondering if girl scouts can volunteer to cut out stars? Thank you.
Beth, we’d be happy to have your scouts help with the stars! The lady to contact is Susan Wells. You can find her contact info at http://www.starsforourtroops.org
