Help Needed to Place Flags On July 4

Submitted by Carl Jowers, American Legion Commander

 

 

July 4. VFW Post 1165 Incoming Commander Deb Lust and fellow Legionnaire asked us at last night’s Post 25 general membership meeting for assistance in placing flags along Fort Scott’s parade of Flags on July 4^th.

 

Flag placement starts at 7 am at both:

 

• National and East National

 

• Margrave and East National

 

This can be a family and friends event and for Legionnaires, Auxiliary and Sons of the American Legion counts towards the Legion’s Americanism programs.

 

Family and friends of Veterans are also welcome to participate.

 

Flag retrieval starts at 4 pm.

 

 

Also on July 4. American Legion Post 25 Hot Dog giveaway at Fort Scott Wal-Mart from 11 am – 2pm or the dogs run out.  Stop by for a free hot dog, bag of chips and a drink.
