Tyrone, Blair County - 14-year-old Cody Eckels is putting up flags to honor veterans for his Eagle Scout project. When he heard the American Legion lost its flag, he felt he needed to help by taking his flag down. And Guillermo Martinez, the Commander of the American Legion
in Tyrone says Cody's just a good egg.
"He's a nice kid, he's going to put different flags up here, one for each military and the MIA flag also. The Pennsylvania flag, and he doesn't need that big one there, so he gave it to us..."
Local veterans helped Eckels take the flag down.
