MOUNT ZION â David Wiley was one of more than 100 volunteers that stood in the parking lot of the Mount Zion Intermediate School on Wednesday eager to help line area roads with American flags.
âWeâre just going to stick flags in the ground,â said Wiley, 60, of Mount Zion.
With more than 2,000 flags to be displayed, it was good to have so many volunteers from across the area to assist with the task.
A graduate of Mount Zion High School, Hanneken, 45, of Long Creek died March 25 when his squad car collided into a utility pole and a tree on Illinois 10 in Bondville. Hanneken was on patrol but State Police said he was not responding to a call and there appeared to be no signs of foul play. An investigation into the crash is ongoing.
