But when photos appeared on Facebook revealing that American flags that were part of a veterans memorial were still on site, residents took to social media to voice their outrage, according to\u00a0<a class=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.your4state.com\/news\/west-virginia\/military-mother-saves-flags-from-demolition-site\/682051705\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Link: http:\/\/www.your4state.com\/news\/west-virginia\/military-mother-saves-flags-from-demolition-site\/682051705\">Your4State.com<\/a>. <br\/><br\/>The memorial stone that occupied the mall was moved to the War Memorial Park prior to the start of demolition. The flags somehow got overlooked.<br\/><br\/> Patricia Anderson took action. The concerned mother of two sons in the Air Force and a resident of Martinsburg contacted a list of people about the problem. And within 24 hours, the development company removed the flags from the demolition site. <br\/><br\/> &#8220;It&#8217;s just important that they&#8217;re remembered: the blood, the sweat, the tears, themselves as well as family members,&#8221; Anderson said. The flags are going to the Martinsburg VA Medical Center where officials there will help to find places they can be displayed or retire the flags, if appropriate.<br\/><br\/> &#8220;We need to recognize all of our veterans and everyone that was a concerned citizen, that voiced their opinion. It wasn&#8217;t just me. It was a community effort,&#8221; Anderson said, &#8220;I just happened to make a couple phone calls.&#8221; \u00a0<br\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The flags were part of a veterans memorial at the site.
