Memorial flag from Morris seals Wiltz museum tribute
A 45 by 60 inch handmade American flag crocheted by Esther Craig of Morris, Illinois, hangs in a Wiltz Luxembourg museum as the sole European memorial to the 28th U.S. Infantry Division. Presented Oct 4 in Eisenhower Square, the flag honors the division that liberated Wiltz on Sept 10, 1944 and fought the Battle of the Bulge. The flag traveled from Morris via Sgt. Kenneth Kingman and his sister to Robert Pocklington who arranged its Wiltz presentation. Mrs. Craig plans a replacement as she keeps making more flags for veterans families and clubs.
