Flag program
The North Smithfield Heritage Association is now offering to fly the memorial flags of deceased veterans for periods of 30 days at Memorial Town Hall. The organization will also publish a brief biography of each honoree’s military service in their monthly newsletter. NSHA will return the flag to the family at the end of the 30 day period, or continue to fly the flag until it is replaced by another, depending upon the family’s wishes.
To participate, email nsha@nsheritageassn.com or call (401) 651-6316.
