“While we were at your Summersville Shoney’s recently, team members were hanging a framed crocheted American Flag; one even Besty Ross would be proud of. I learned that there were only seven in existence, all handmade by the owner’s wife (Debbie Smith). This was an opportunity to teach my grandchildren about the holiday recognized every Flag Day (June 14^th) and the 4^th of July. Thank you for taking the time completing this labor of love to share with every customer who walks into Shoney’s and admire and share their experience looking at it.”
