Memorial Day Tribute Displayed At Accompsett Middle School

From Smithtown Central School District: To honor local military heroes this Memorial Day, Accompsett Middle School in the Smithtown Central School District organized its second annual Flags for Freedom program. Organized by the school’s Parent-Teacher Association and the National Junior Honor Society, participants could purchase a flag for $25 in honor or memory of loved ones who have or are serving in the military.

On May 17, the PTA and members of the National Junior Honor Society worked on the grounds in front of the school, cleaning up the flower beds and setting up the flags for display. Profits from the sale of the flags will be donated to America’s VetDogs, a local nonprofit that helps veterans with service dogs, and Boots on the Ground, a local veterans activity center.
