A local lawmaker is trying to help residents give a patriotic remembrance to those who have served by ensuring the availability of flags.
State Senator Scott Hutchinson is encouraging the administration of Governor Tom Wolf to lift the restrictions currently preventing a flag manufacturer in the eastern part of the state from shipping orders.
FlagZone in Berks County manufacturers high quality U.S. flags of all sizes but was determined to be non-life-sustaining so has been forced to remain closed since March. Company officials have said that shipping flags would require minimal staff and could be done safely.
Hutchinson was alerted of the possibility of flag shortages by a constituent in neighboring Clarion County who expressed concern about the graves of veterans not being recognized in time for Memorial Day.
