Dozens of volunteers have started placing 29 hundred American flags on the West Lawn of the Statehouse for its annual nine-eleven memorial.
They include a group of Girl Scouts from Hilliard - 11 year old Laine McChesney, 12 year old Ava Crane and 11 year old Kayana Skinell and 11 year old Lana Peters.
“My dad was in the military and I know it means a lot.”
“We know that we need to do this to remember all the times that were lost during this time.”
“I wanted to do this because it helps represent Ohio really well, and the nation.”
“I wanted to do it because it’s always such an honor to place flags for the people who we’ve lost.”
The flags are placed in a design that represents the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and United Airlines Flight 93. The display runs through September 12.
