Maysville flagpoles get special vet touch

Mid-America Technology Center welding and CNC students built more than 100 flagpole holders for American Legion Hope Nolatubbe Post 194 in Maysville, and they're holding up the town's flags this Veterans Day and for every holiday to come. The students come from Blanchard, Lexington, Stratford, Wayne and Washington high schools, Epic Charter Schools in Newcastle and adult programs in Blanchard and Noble.
