NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — A torn American flag flying outside the post office on 25th Street in downtown Newport News caught the attention of community members last week — and their quick action led to a new flag being raised by Friday. She said what she saw at the Newport News post office stood out. Memitt called the post office and received a case number. By Friday, Terrell sent News 3 an updated photo showing a new flag flying outside the post office. The new flag is now on display outside the historic post office in downtown Newport News.
