Flag That Flew Atop the U.S. Capitol on July Fourth Finds a Home in Mid-MO
An American flag that flew over the US Capitol in Washington DC has found its home in the hands of a mid-Missouri veteran.
On Thursday, it was presented to 95-year-old Mitchell Bennett of Ashland.
This particular flag flew over the Capitol on the Fourth of July in celebration of America’s 250th birthday.
Bennett served in the U.S. Navy on the USS Coral Sea and also fought in the Korean War, and he and his family are now proud owners of the special memento.
