My final note is to say that everyone we have met in our dealings in Ellijay have been wonderful. It is National Peace Officers Memorial Day . On that day, all flags must be flown at half mast to honor fallen officers. Victims, witnesses, and suspects of a crime. A police officer.
Officers play a big role in our city, state, and country.
For a school project, I have organized a special local day in conjunction with Memorial Day. Chairman Rayburn Smith, Mayor Al Hoyle, and Mayor Mack West have all signed proclamations making May 15 Law Enforcement Appreciation Day in Gilmer County, Ellijay, and East Ellijay. Please put an article in your newspaper telling people how to participate in Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. By taking part in this day, the citizens of Gilmer County will be able to get a special card from stores and banks displaying blue ribbons. They can get a card with a blue ribbon attached to it.
