Flag Folding Class

Charleston cadets Maj Andrew McClanahan and Senior Airman Cameron Knapp joined Army NCO’s Selena Harry and Lafonso Barnes in presenting a class on flag etiquette today. They taught 35 fifth grade students how to honor Old Glory, how to raise and lower the flag as well as proper handling and folding.

The students at Eastbrook Elementary School in Putnam County were very interested and engaged. Teams were assigned and had opportunities to practice each of the tasks.

The presentation was the result of a request from the West Virginia Department of Education’s Common Ground Partnership.

Civil Air Patrol was honored to be able to share our patriotism and love of country with these youngsters.
