Patriots who wanted to show support for the United States, the military and law enforcement attached flags on their vehicles and joined the Old Glory Flag Run Saturday. After gathering at the Black River Coliseum, more than 25 vehicles traveled past the John J. Pershing VA Medical Center as they left Poplar Bluff en route to Cape Girardeau.
