A new flagpole was installed at Veterans Heroes Golf Course in Los Angeles. It's not just any old pole. It's a pole with nearly 40 years of history.
At 101 years old, Paul Ignatius is a walking and talking history book. He grew up in Glendale and served his country in World War II. And that was just his warm up act! He also worked at the Pentagon, and spent two years as Secretary of the Navy. Now, he's sharing his stories with fellow residents.
Once firmly in place at the golf course veterans, Boy Scouts and others joined for the national anthem. Soon after the 1984 Olympic Games ended, Cornell's family purchased the flagpole and transplanted it to their home. They are elated that it's now at the Heroes Golf Course. "We had it in our front yard since '84," said Christine Cornell, Alex Cornell's grandmother."When I heard that Alex as a scout wanted to contribute a flag to the Veterans Administration, I thought it would be a good chance to donate the pole to such a worthy cause.
