Flag City, Iowa

I have very quick post today and a shout-out to fellow blogger Dennis Voy of Maquoketa, Iowa. Dennis writes Dennis's Daily Report for KMAQ Radio and he has highlighted the community service efforts of the Maquoketa Optimist Club for placing flags in the community, including residential streets, for the national holidays.

He points out that the flags are a moneymaker for the many projects that the Optimist Club does for children throughout the year, but more importantly, thanks to the efforts of the Optimist Club and the support they receive from the community, Maquoketa, Iowa is known as the US Flag City of Iowa.
