In the days leading up to Memorial Day, members of the Black River FFA Chapter
volunteered their time to help line the parade route in Sullivan with American flags in
honor of those who have served our country. This community service effort was a way
for our chapter to show respect and gratitude to the men and women who made the
ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
As FFA members, it was an honor to participate in this meaningful tradition and give
back to the community that continues to support our chapter. Community service is a
key part of the FFA mission, and we are proud to represent the values of leadership,
citizenship, and patriotism through efforts like this. On behalf of the Black River FFA, we
thank all veterans and their families for their service and sacrifice.
