In a heartfelt tribute to the nation and its fallen heroes, Kathy Carroll and her husband, Mike, have transformed their neighborhood into a vivid display of patriotism. The couple, residing on Mount Orange Road, initiated this inspiring tradition two years ago on July 4th, adorning their surroundings with a stunning array of American flags to express their deep admiration for the stars and stripes.
Their inaugural display was met with widespread acclaim, resonating with their community and beyond. The sight of the flags fluttering in the breeze struck a chord, leading to an outpouring of support from neighbors and volunteers who eagerly joined the Carrolls in their patriotic endeavor. This collective enthusiasm enabled the expansion of the display to other significant dates, including September 11th and Veterans Day.
This year marked a significant milestone for the Carrolls and their community as they extended their flag display to Memorial Day for the first time. Kathy Carroll’s decision to honor Memorial Day with this grand gesture was particularly poignant.
“We are a very patriotic family, and we feel the Memorial Day display is the most meaningful,” she shared. “It is a day to honor those we lost serving our country, and anything we can do to memorialize them is important. We don’t want anyone ever to forget their sacrifices.”
The Memorial Day display is a powerful visual tribute, with over 250 large American flags prominently placed along Mount Orange Road, County Route 49, and State Route 6. Each flag serves as a symbol of remembrance and respect for the men and women who have laid down their lives in service to the United States. The sight is both sad and uplifting, a stark reminder of the cost of freedom and the enduring spirit of patriotism.
