VMI Classmates Contribute to Marshall Center Flagpole

The George C. Marshall International Center will dedicate a flagpole on the grounds of George C. Marshall's former home at Dodona Manor in Leesburg during a special ceremony Saturday, Sept. 14 at 9:30 a.m.

"There was no American flag at Dodona Manor," said Thomas Greenspon, president of George C. Marshall International Center, "and we saw this as a meaningful enhancement to commemorate the significance of this historic site." 

Fifty-five of Greenspon's classmates from the Virginia Military Institute at Lexington contributed money for the project, which included landscaping and tree removal following an ash bore disease outbreak.
