The presentations were made at the School’s main entrance. Assisting Patterson were

Braille U.S. flags are produced by the Kansas Braille Transcription Institute. The full-color flags were created by Randolph Cabral, founder of the Institute, in 2005 to honor his father, a World War II veteran who lost his sight while in the military.
Braille flags feature the Pledge of Allegiance. A bronze replica was placed at Arlington National Cemetery as a tribute to blind veterans of all wars and other blind Americans.
