Feeling the need for the Prairie Village community of seniors to commemorate Independence Day, a small group of Prairie Village residents placed 288 American flags along N. Acorn Ridge and Burr Oak Trail on June 29.  The flags will remain in place through the 4th of July holiday and will be picked up Thursday, July 6th.  The plan is to continue this new commemoration annually each Independence Day as a way for Prairie Village residents to honor our nation. Remaining photos are courtesy of Tom Ganser.
