Patriotism at the Nichols Quarry, east of Amherst, Ohio
Travelers on State Route 2 just east of Amherst witness the American Flag painted by
Barbara (Brucker) and Grant Thompson in 1976 to celebrate our nation’s bicentennial.
While the flag has occasionally been painted with graffiti, Good Samaritans have always
touched up the flag following these acts of ill-respect. Following the 911 attacks,
Barbara and Grant, along with family members, again gave the flag a fresh coat of
paint as a testimony of patriotism. 2007 Photo by James Hieb (posted 1/21/07) -
