Dexter, Missouri - Recent winds had take the American Flag at the County Wide Insurance office and tangled itself and would not fly correctly. They tried to adjust the normal way and it wouldn't work. They just didn't have a pole long enough to reach the flag to make it work.
"Let’s say it’s always worth asking for a little help," commented Alan Hedrick, owner of County Wide Insurance.
Ameren Missouri team member Michael Green was finishing up his day as Alan just happen to pull up next to his truck.
"I just asked if he would mind giving us a hand fixing our flag and his eyes lit up when he heard the world "flag" spoken," stated Hedrick.
So without hesitation he said he and his company would always be willing to provide assistance in fixing our American flag.
Michael was ready and eager. His comment was “Where?”.
"When I told him it was just next door, he said “Absolutely” continued Hedrick.
Within about 10 minutes, he took a near impossible job and made quick work of it.
Now the flag is again gracefully flying at County Wide Insurance Agency.
"We fly it proudly and know the sacrifices that soldiers have made for our freedoms"
Special thanks for Ameren Missouri for having a culture of helpfulness in the community and the kind of people that truly enjoy their work.

Murfreesboro, TN - Marcus Greer, son of Matt and Lisa Greer, received the Newcomer Iron Man Award from the Middle Tennessee State University Blue Raiders football program. The Iron Man Award is given to a football team member that displays high levels of leadership, discipline and hard work.
As an offensive lineman for the Blue Raiders, Greer was able to see a limited amount of time during the Vanderbilt, Old Dominion and UTEP games during the 2018 season prior to being declared a redshirt.
As a three-star Rvals athlete with over 21 offers, Marcus selected Middle Tennessee over Ohio State and Central Michigan. Greer had a stellar high school career in St. Louis with the Chaminade Red Devils.
College football is an extraordinary challenge for student-athletes but one that is perfect for Marcus. The honor of the Iron Man Award fits the personality and drive that will carry Marcus throughout the next four-years at MTSU. There is a very high expectation that Marcus will move up quickly on the depth chart during the spring workouts and will see significant game time next year.
Middle Tennessee State finished the 2018 season with an overall record of 8-5 and 7-1 in the NCAA Conference USA. They defeated the University of Alabama-Birmingham in the final game of the season 27-3 but lost to the same UAB bitter battle in the Conference Championship 25-27.
Greer has traveled with the team to New Orleans this week as MTSU Blue Raiders prepare to take on the Mountaineers of Appalachian State (10-2) in the New Orleans Blowl. Television coverage will begin from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on ESPN at 8:00 PM.
