Thank you, Mrs. Ellis!
🇺🇸 Thank You, Mrs. Joan Ellis! 🇺🇸
The Barnstable Fire Department would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Mrs. Joan Ellis for her generous donation that made it possible to purchase, install, and maintain more than 40 American flags along the telephone poles on Main Street in Barnstable Village.
This thoughtful gift is made in memory of her husband, Jim Ellis, and serves as a wonderful tribute as our nation celebrates the 250th birthday of the United States of America this Fourth of July.
The beautiful display of flags throughout our village center reflects the pride, patriotism, and community spirit that make Barnstable Village so special. Thanks to Mrs. Ellis' generosity, residents and visitors alike will be able to enjoy this meaningful display for years to come.
Please join us in thanking Mrs. Joan Ellis for helping honor our nation's history and for making this project possible for the entire Barnstable community.
And a special thank you to our members who installed these flags.
🇺🇸 Thank you, Mrs. Ellis, and God Bless America! 🇺🇸
