ROANE STATE LAUNCHES VETERAN FLAG DISPLAY PROGRAM WITH FALL DEADLINE APPROACHING
Roane State Community College is inviting community members to honor military veterans through a special flag display initiative spanning its seven campuses, including the Cumberland County Campus in Crossville.
The $80 flag packages each represent an individual veteran and include a 3-by-3-foot nylon U.S. flag alongside an identifying dog tag. Roane State staff handle the complete setup and takedown of the flags along designated campus roadways. The displays remain active for approximately three years, appearing annually around Veterans Day (November 11) and from Memorial Day through July 4.
Key details for participants include:
-
Fall Deadline: The order window for upcoming Fall displays closes on October 16, 2026.
