	Lohmann’s Ford Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution will be conducting their sixth annual FLAG RETIREMENT CEREMONY, Flag Day, Saturday, June 14, 10 a.m., at the Spirit of Freedom Memorial, Heritage Park, located on the corner of Lohmans Crossing and Hurst Creek Road. If you have a tattered, faded, torn or otherwise unusable American or Texas Flag, you may place them in the boxes located at the Lakeway City Hall and the Activity Center any time before June 14, or you may take them to the ceremony. If you have not attended the FLAG RETIREMENT CEREMONY before, you are encouraged to attend this year and experience the “Service for the Proper Retirement of the Flag.” The Lohmann’s Ford DAR Flag Chair and her committee will demonstrate by using a “ceremonial” flag which has been properly cut apart. The blue field is cut away from the flag, thus it is no longer a flag. The red and white stripes are then cut apart. The red stripes will be burned, then the white stripes and then the blue field. The remaining flags that have been collected will be taken to the VFW, Bee Caves, TX for proper retirement. The FLAG RETIREMENT CEREMONY will also include patriotic songs, the Pledge of Allegiance, and The American Creed, and guest speaker, Steve Swan, Mayor of Lakeway. Certificates will be awarded to Lakeway (and beyond) residents for “consistently displaying the flag in a proper way, kept in good order, and if flown at night, properly lighted to illuminate it.” If you would like to recommend a family member, a neighbor, a friend who qualifies to receive a certificate, please contact Flag Chair, Helen Cooper (261-5605) by June 1. Lohmann’s Ford DAR will be proud to honor and recognize them at the Ceremony. Submitted by Helen Cooper QUARTER CENTURY CLUB PICNIC – 2008 Have you lived in Lakeway twenty five years or longer?

This display has been presented in conjunction with the Sing Along’s USO Show on April 24, 25 and 26 honoring our World War II veterans. Among the items of interest is a shadow box belonging to Janice Armstrong with medals, dog tags, a postcard of Waikiki Beach with only two hotels, and a metal fronted Bible carried by her uncle and a picture of his unit. R.F. and Delores Dolezal provide us with a helmet used in World War II and an actual B-25 manual. Ernie Clay has VJ and VE newspapers and photo-letters that will be displayed. Charles Edwards provides both a Purple Heart and a Silver Star medal. Gilbert Boyd and Gretchen Nearburg are sharing the star flag given to his mother to hang in her window until his return. Mike and Betty Ann Courtney have numerous pictures, a copy of a certificate presented to his father on the U.S.S. General William Mitchell when they crossed the international dateline in November of 1945, medals, service-issued knives, actual menus provided to the troops on the U.S.S. General William Mitchell for Thanksgiving dinner and Independence Day 1946. Also included are several love letters sent to Mike’s mother while his father served. Original musical scores of popular songs will be displayed. Many of these same songs will be performed for you at the USO show. Joann Anderson will share a mess kit used during the war. Ray Bartosh has several WW II model planes to display. Other items, too numerous to name will be displayed. Take the time to step into history by stopping by the World War II display! Submitted by Janet Wright VETERANS OF THE ARMED FORCES BEING SOUGHT It’s that time of year when the Lakeway Heritage Commission begins its search for past and present residents of Lakeway who are veterans of the armed forces, or presently serving on active-duty in the armed forces, who may be interested in having their names engraved on the Spirit of Freedom Monument system located at Heritage Park in Lakeway. Family members may arrange for the engravings by providing proof of residency of the veteran or active-duty member. While space for names of those serving during World War II (1941-1945) is very limited for army and navy veterans, space for veterans of the Korean War (1950-1953), the Vietnam War (1964-1975), Desert Shield/Desert Storm (1990-1991), and the Global War on Terror (Sept. 11, 2001-present) is virtually unlimited. These dates are recognized by the Department of Veterans Affairs as America’s Wars. Applications for names to be engraved can be obtained from a small box located at the monument, at the Heritage Center (M-W-F from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.), faxed by calling 512-608-9533, or by email at history@cityoflakeway.com. A tax-deductible contribution of $150 by cash or check is required for each name to be engraved. The deadline for submission is August 15 of each year. The Commission is also seeking the names of Lakeway veterans who have passed away since Memorial Day-2007, in order to pay tribute to those individuals during services at the Heritage Center on Memorial Day-2008.
