Detroit Future Farmers of America’s sponsor Tracy Denny and her high school AG classes partnered with the Detroit Lions Club to both make flag poles and put out 82 American flags in honor of patriotic holidays.

Lion Club representatives Johnny McCoin and Dale Miller reached out to Denny to join her group to make their collective efforts a reality. Detroit Independent School District AG students made the poles while Paris Chevrolet made a donation to help the groups purchase other materials.

The project’s inception dated back to last year, and the Detroit-based groups accomplished their goal of completing the project before Veteran’s Day. The Veteran’s Day holiday will take place on Wednesday.
