SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Marywood University is once again honoring the men and women who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. Volunteers hope to have 6,000 US flags placed on Marywood University's tree stadium lawn for their annual Flags for the Fallen display.

The display serves as a sign to the community of the sacrifices those who served and have died for our country made.
"It's important for us because we have a lot of military affiliated and veteran students here and a lot of family members throughout the faculty and staff and like I said it's a way for us to honor the people that have lost their lives," Marywood University Military and Veterans Specialist April Paciotti stated.
This is the 15th year for the annual display.
