ASU Army cadets help honor 48-star flag: Arizona State University (ASU)

Denise Riggs never knew her uncle; Pfc. Carl Shelby Lay had died in the Korean War before she was born. She was always interested in his life story, much of which remained a mystery — including whether any of the four flags she inherited when her grandmother died was the 48-star one presented to the family at her uncle’s funeral. She was afraid to unfold the flags out of respect for the protocols of handling and folding such items. A friend suggested she reach out to ASU’s Army ROTC for assistance. Members of that group recently helped her correctly identify and properly fold each flag until the 48-star one was found. The ceremony provided both honor for the uncle’s service and closure for his niece.
