Flags honor popular Somerville veteran

~Photo by William Tauro By William Tauro Friends and neighbors of lifelong Somerville resident John McKenzie lined Irving Street in Somerville with a sea of American flags to honor the popular WWII veteran who passed away this week. Neighbors decorated fences, utility poles, trees, signs and homes with American flags and bunting that stretched the length of Irving Street from Broadway to Holland Streets. McKenzie was also well known for many years for his Wednesday lunches on College Avenue at the Baptist Church. He was a popular member of Somerville Lodge and King Solomon's Lodge here in Somerville
