Hancock Rotary Honors Fallen Soldier
Posted by Ernest Schenk
The Hancock Rotary Club honored the memory of Justin R Whiting by presenting a flag to his parents on January 16th at their weekly luncheon. Staff Sgt. Justin R. Whiting was killed in action on Jan.19th 2008 in Iraq. A flag was raised on Memorial Day of 2009 by his parents Cindy and Randy Whiting. It sits along the rolling hills of NYS Route 97 overlooking their farm. "We constantly get comments of what a beautiful and inspiring sight it is. After Justin’s death there was little that could ease our sorrow. Since I raised this flag the sight of it always makes us feel better."
