ROYALTON TO HONOR TOWN RESIDENTS IN MILITARY

From the Buffalo News....

The Royalton Town Board on Monday will make a special presentation honoring residents serving in the armed forces. Staff Sgt. Scott Little, a member of the New York Air National Guard, who returned last month from a four-month tour in Kuwait, will accept two flags on behalf of residents serving in the U.S. military. He is the husband of Town Clerk Marie Little.

The flags were obtained through State Sen. George Maziarz, R-Newfane. An American flag will be presented, along with a state flag that flew over the capital building in Albany, said Deputy Supervisor Jennifer Bieber, who helped organize the event.

In addition, town officials will announce the establishment of a display in the Town Hall foyer. They are requesting that residents submit photos and addresses of loved ones currently serving in the armed forces, abroad and stateside, to be included.
