On this Flag Day, a local young woman wants to teach others the importance of handling the U.S. flag properly. That project has earned her the Girl Scouts' highest honor, a Gold Award. This is pretty significant, only 5 percent of Girl Scouts achieve this honor. It represents dozens of hours of work to create a significant and sustainable positive change in the community. Ayla Yebba got her gold award this past weekend. Her project is called the "One Star Program." It has two purposes: to teach other Girl Scouts how to properly fold, store and display the flag and how to properly dispose of old, worn-out flags. She found out that hundreds of old flags from the American Legion were waiting to be retired, so she was able to create a network between several local funeral homes to have the flags cremated with deceased veterans.
