COLUMBUS — Columbus is famous for all the American flags around town, especially up and down Milam Street, thanks to local businessman Dale Alexander, who started it all nearly 10 years ago and has been installing, maintaining, and replacing them as needed.
A fund is set up at Columbus State Bank for anyone who wishes to contribute. Simply tell them you’re donating to the flag fund, and they'll take it from there.
As Alexander ages, as we all do sooner or later, he has retained help from the Columbus Boy Scouts, a couple of which replaced all the damaged and or frayed flags in time for both Memorial Day and the Fourth of July.
