About thirty local veterans attended a flag raising ceremony last Wednesday at Water Valley High School. Both a United States flag, purchased by the Beta Club, and a Mississippi flag, purchased by the Student Council, were flown over the school. The state flag will be sent to Afghanistan where it will fly over a U. S. military base before being returned to WVHS.
