Scout raises awareness about veterans’ sacrifice
As part of his Eagle Scout project, Troy High School senior Cameron Korman built a cabinet to display a donated American flag at the Detroit Metro Airport Michigan Armed Forces Hospitality Center, better known as the Michigan Freedom Center.
The presentation was made Oct. 6 at Boy Scout Troop 1710’s weekly meeting in Troy. In front of friends, fellow scouts and family members, Korman described how both his grandfathers fought in the U. S. military and how he believes that veterans today don’t receive the attention and respect they deserve. He said he hopes the American flag display case helps remind travelers of veterans’ sacrifices.
The flag itself was a donation Canton resident and veteran
Frank Sinagra, a retired captain in U. S. Marine Corp. The flag first came from a 2016 Memorial Day service in Ann Arbor, where Sinagra was a featured speaker.
Sinagra’s flag has traveled around the state and is currently on loan to the Michigan Freedom Center. The display case also features photographs supplied by Sinagra of the flag flying at various locations.
