Mr. Galvin and Mr. Samer <br />determined t~h~it a, ~ore suitable flag pole should honor the veterans buried in this cemetery (our <br />current fl~tgp~l¢ [g~rusty and somewhat small). The Coon Rapids Legion would like to donate to <br />the City a flitgpol~, flag, flash collar and a bronze plaque. The only City participation required <br />would be my_4ssis~ance in finding a contractor to pour the footing, build the form for the plaque <br />and donate tl~¢!con~ete. <br />The following itcm~ may be worthy to note: <br />· The ox!sting flag pole and flag have not received any vandalism. <br />· The n¢4v larger pole would be a convenient location identifier for the cemetery. <br /> <br />· The CrOn Rapids American Legion Post #334 donated a flag pole to Staples Cemetery in <br /> the Ci~ of ~ndover last year. <br /> <br />· The Anbka ~Legion was not particularly interested in this endeavor. <br /> <br />· Post #3~1.4 s6ates that the dollars for the donation will be from the lawful purpose gambling <br /> fund. ~ <br /> <br />· The ~ ~ ~ flag pole will be approximately $300. This does not include the concrete <br /> foofing~th¢ ,~oncrete plaque stand or the plaque. <br />· We in~,d t9 have the flag flying on the new pole before Memorial Day, 1992. <br /> <br />· Tlxe pOl~ m~nufacturer is the same manufacturer of the pole installed at Central Park which <br /> appearS~to ~ quite durable. <br />The following ihformafion is enclosed for your review: <br />· Copy O~the Estate[ flag pole brochure. <br />· Portion bf Pbst #334's newsletter "Coon Tales". <br /> <br />/jmt <br /> <br />I <br /> <br /> <br />
