A new replacement flag was presented by Vicksburg Coin Club Thursday to fly over the U.S. 80 bridge. From left, Frances Schaffer and Cason Schaffer, secretary-treasurer of Vicksburg Coin Club, present the new flag to Blanche Millsaps, a Vicksburg woman who has overseen the replacement of flags since 1994. The flags, each costing about $550, have to be replaced about four times a year. All are donated by individuals, organizations and businesses. (Katie Carter*The Vicksburg Post)
