Rep. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., left, announces the gift of a new flag, which was flown over the U.S. Capitol, to Lester Elementary School during a special Veterans Day assembly Tuesday. At right, principal Drexel Sammons enthusiastically receives the flag. Over Labor Day weekend, the school’s flag had been stolen, so fourth-graders decided to write personalized letters to Rahall requesting a new flag. The congressman also presented a flag to Maxwell Hill Elementary School during a similar program earlier Tuesday.
