The Wetumpka City Council and the Wetumpka United youth soccer team both received an American flag that flew over an American base in Qatar at the council’s meeting Monday evening.
The flags were flown by Wetumpka native and U.S. Army Major Minerva Pamatz Harwell who is currently deployed to the Middle East and assigned to 3D Medical Command Deployment Support.
“One of the girls who plays in the soccer league, her mom is on a military assignment,” Wetumpka Mayor Jerry Willis said. “She sent the flags back to us so the soccer team can fly at their games and the other for the City of Wetumpka so we can fly on one of our flag poles in the city.”
Harwell’s daughter, Isabella, plays soccer for Wetumpka United.
“The soccer program is awesome,” Willis said.
