Las Animas/Fort Lyon Celebrate Independence Day

By Kathleen Tomlin

From an outstanding firework display on the 4th by the BC/LA Fire Department to the Las Animas Avenue of Flags on Monday, our community celebrated 245 years of independence.

VFW Auxiliary #2411 rounded up 14 volunteers in the morning to hang the Avenue of Flags and 17 volunteers in the evening to take them down.  It was a beautiful display of 175 flags. 

We thank all those who helped us!  A special thanks to the veterans at Fort Lyon, and service dog “Trouble,” who helped in the morning and evening.  It was great camaraderie and enjoyed by all!  God Bless America!
