Prospect Hill updates flag memorial

From the York Dispatch--  Jack Sommer said his Prospect Hill Cemetery is glad to honor soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice but is sad such recognition has to be given at all.
.
During the ceremony, 150 flags were added to the miniature flag display
honoring U.S. soldiers who have died in Afghanistan. The display already has 1,531 flags.

Pa. soldiers: Twelve of the added flags honored soldiers from Pennsylvania. Those flags were added to a special section honoring the memories of Pennsylvania soldiers who have died. That section already has 271 flags.

Also, the cemetery's bell will be tolled 28 times in honor of the 28 soldiers who died in Iraq since April, when the flag memorial was re-established after winter. The Iraq War Flag Memorial was retired last year.
