Memorial Day flag donations

The American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars are in need of some monetary donations for the replacement of the flags that are flown at the cemetery for Memorial Day weekend. We have a flag repair outlet, but they can be repaired just so many times.

The source we usually went through to replace these Flags, has now cut us off. The cost for the Flag, pole and name tag is roughly $55. I know that it seems like every time we turn around, somebody is asking for a handout.

We do appreciate all of the help that shows up for the placement of Flags and comments on how nice it looks to have all the Flags flying on this memorial occasion.

A special account has been set up at the Wheatland Bank, 101 E. First Ave. Ritzville WA 99169 – Flag Account.
