NORWICH – Last week, the repairs to the damaged flag police in the East Side park were completed just in time for Memorial Day.

Repairs were completed Tuesday, May 23, and the flag was able to fly on the pole once again.

A NYSEG truck was used to help make the necessary repairs. Asplundh Tree Expert Co. also helped to make the fix possible.

Gratitude was also extended to Ed Hook and Ken Mirabito, Sons of the American Legion members, for supplying the replacement parts for the flag pole and the flag.

It was reported that the repair was at no cost to the city.

Thanks was additionally extended to Jeff Bell, NYSEG; Foreman Adam Briggs, Asplundh Tree Expert Co.; Treeman Dustin Kiel, Asplundh Tree Expert Co.; and General Foreman John Swain, Asplundh Tree Expert Co.
