To honor the Veterans at Loyalton Cemetery Casey Koch decided to center his Eagle Scout project around placing permanent flag holders at the gravesite of all the Veterans. Casey purchased materials from Sierra Valley Home Center and with the help of his Troop, they cut each steel flag holder to size and painted them red so they would be easily visible for many years. On Saturday May 16th Casey, Scout Troop 60, and other community members arrived at the Loyalton Cemetery and replaced the old torn, faded flags with new flags and installed the new flag holders. With the social distancing order in place the scouts worked while wearing masks and kept a safe distance while working. The Scouts made and placed 80 holders and flags, but were short 15, Casey plans to make the remaining 15 holders to finish the project.
