ROME, Ga.–Coosa Valley Credit Union will again this year be sponsoring one of its most popular initiatives. The $300-million CU is again replacing torn or faded American flags in the communities it serves.
“This is the fourth year of this project and to date, Coosa Valley has replaced well over 130 torn or faded American flags in our communities,” said Robert Smyth AVP of business development /public relations with Coosa Valley CU. “This is one of our favorite yearly projects but we need the public’s help to locate flags that need replacing. Coosa Valley asks for citizens to be on the lookout for torn or faded American flags on display at businesses, churches or community organizations in Floyd, Polk or Bartow County.”
When people spot a tattered flag they are told they can contact the CU by e-mail or on Facebook and Coosa Valley Credit Union will replace that flag (up to a six-foot by 10-foot size) free.
“We will also dispose of the old flag properly in conjunction with a local Veterans group associated with the Exchange Club of Rome,” said Smyth.
