LAS VEGAS (FOX5) —A tattered American flag that had been clinging to a flagpole on a hill off Galleria Drive near Lake Las Vegas has been replaced with a new one, after a FOX5 report and social media response prompted community action.
An eighth-grade girl first alerted FOX5 to the flag’s condition, saying she was worried veterans would feel bad seeing it that way. FOX5 contacted Vietnam veteran Richard Crescitelli and showed him the tattered flag.
