Stowe Police Department Presented Flag from Afghanistan

On January 25, 2011, the officers and staff of the Stowe Police Department were presented with a flag that had flown over Camp Phoenix in Afghanistan.  The flag was flown 'in the face of the enemy' at Forward Operating Base Lightning located near Gardez, Afghanistan.  The flag was brought back to Vermont by members of Task Force Avalanche, which included members of the Vermont Army National Guard Mountian unit.   The flag was presented to the Stowe Police Department by Dustin Knight, son of Corporal David Knight, who served with the Vermont Army National Guard in Afghanistan.  The flag was accepted by Sergeant Steve Stewart on behalf of the Department.  The Stowe Police Department is proud to display this flag in the Public Safety Facility.
