I
would like to personally Thank the Mayor of Greenwood, Mayor Decourcy and
the aldermen: Sara Ring, Jim Payne and James VanAcker, for my Gold Key to
the city and your wonderful support. Cliff McDonald and the city
workers for making the pole shine Night and Day. The gold ball on top of the
flagpole became a special project of the city worker and it looks Awesome.
The office ladies at The City Hall, put on the most fantastic table spread
of goodies and drinks the day of the flagpole dedication. Also, to my
principal Mrs. Rogers and my teacher Mr.Boedeker for allowing my class to
attend the ceremony, you were all a great support for me. A special
thank you to the Veterans that attended and for donating the flag to the
city, you all made that day very special. To our friends and the
citizens of Greenwood that attended that day, thank you for being there. And
State Representative Jeff Grisamore we have so enjoyed meeting you and you
definitely made receiving the Resolution from the Missouri State House of
Representatives special and the set of flags for both me and a set
for the City from Govenor Nixon, we have both flags on our pole now and
they are beautiful.
