City, County to lower flags for monthly recognition of fallen troops
Clarksville Mayor Johnny Piper and Montgomery County Mayor Carolyn Bowers will have all local government flags lowered to half-staff on the second Wednesday of every month in remembrance and honor of the Fort Campbell soldiers that have lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. The day will coincide each month with the Eagle remembrance ceremony that is held at Fort Campbell.
This idea was presented to both Mayors’ by our local Military Affairs Committee as a way for our community to show our continued support for our soldiers and their families. Businesses and homeowners that have flagpoles are encouraged to also lower their flags to half-staff on the second Wednesday of each month starting on August 13th.
About Christine Anne Piesyk 
In my 40+ years in media, I have worked as feature writer, investigative reporter, editor, publisher, and film/theater/arts critic. I brought my liberal New England activism to Tennessee several years ago, having finally completed a mid-life undergraduate degree in community organizing and women's studies, and an MA in Interdisciplinary Arts with a concentration in Alzheimer's Disease. I served on Future Search Commissions for two colleges and on homelessness for the City of Northampton (MA), where I applied some of my undergrad work in urban planning and community development. I am a member of FreeThinkers for Peace and Civil Liberties. I am a certified storm spotter just because weather fascinates me. In my spare time (define spare time please?) I am a voracious reader, obsessive movie buff, ballroom dancer, and classical music junkie. I also create sci-fi/fantasy and renaissance costumes. I see life as an ongoing opportunity for learning and adventure (one current interest is mastering preparation of foods from India and Southeast Asia). My dream: a return trip to Machu Picchu. After all, the best things still to come. All posts by Christine Anne Piesyk as presented on Clarksville Online are copyright ©2006, 2007, 2008 to the author.
