Nathan D. Russo is seeking community support for his Eagle Scout project, which aims to bring awareness and recognition to those who are serving or have served in the military. Nathan is currently a Life Scout in Boy Scout Troop 594 of Middletown, which is sponsored by American Legion Post 594.
With permission from Lower Swatara Township, Nathan plans to create a flag display at Memorial Field, the lighted baseball field at Little Hollywood Park. He has determined that the field was never named for any person or thing. Nathan will purchase five flagpoles and one flag each for the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard.
During a dedication ceremony scheduled to occur in October, Nathan will present the five flags, and the field will be dedicated to the U.S. armed forces. American Legion Post 594 will participate in the event.
The project will require more than $4,000 for the purchase of the flagpoles and flags as well as installation and landscaping. Individuals and businesses may make tax-deductible donations that will be recognized. Various recognition levels are available.
To donate, readers may email RussoEagleProject@comcast.net. The deadline to contribute is Wednesday, Sept. 30.
