Tactile Flag Donation

When blind students at the South Carolina School for the Deaf and the Blind recite the Pledge of Allegiance they will now have a better idea of what they are saluting. The Kate Barry Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution donated 17 tactile American flags to the school. Members of the group in Missouri hand-crafted the flags so that students can feel the 50 stars and the 13 red-and-white stripes. The school still needs another 57 flags.
