Wrap Text around Image

Travelers along Interstate 5 can't help but notice this large and tall USA Flag that contrasts well with the bright blue skies that Redding often has. This flag was monumented by the Enterprise Lions Club in 2002 in response to 9/11 and there are two plaques that lie at the base of the flag. One of these plaques says the following:

RAISE THE FLAG!

"DEDICATED TO THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED OUR
COUNTRY"
