Last night, the Knoxville Lions Club Community of Pride Avenue of Flags was erected along Highway 14.

The Avenue lines the roadway with more than 800 American flags according to Lion’s Club President Ladd Montegna. Montegna emphasized the importance of honoring past, present and future veterans and says Knoxville’s special history with the care of veterans makes it all the more important for the community. Montegna adds that the avenue makes the community look great, especially with a strong wind. Anyone wishing to support the Avenue of Flags should contact the Knoxville Lions Club.
