U.S. Army Command Sergeant Major
Donovan E. Watts of Atlanta, GA
GO HERE to review the Interactive American Flag (IAF) flying at Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School in his honor
[ Note: This IAF was given to the school after its decision to stop saying the Pledge of Allegiance and, instead, recite a allegiance to the school flag made national headlines! Along with the IAF, staff was instructed to perform a Pre-Pledge Tribute to make the school's weekly ceremony more engaging, meaningful, and "inclusive." The school said the Pledge of Allegiance was "not inclusive enough" - huh?! ]
