American Flags to honor the Veterans!

Saturday, May 26th

As in the past years, it is time again to remember and show respect to those Veterans that are no longer with us in honor of Memorial Day. The support from those who have assisted over the past years is being asked to continue this honor to our Veterans once again. The Veterans of the Vietnam War, Middletown, Inc. are asking for help and assistance on Saturday, May 26, 2018, starting at 9:00am at the Veterans Cemetery located on Bow Lane in Middletown to place approximately 9,900 American Flags to honor the Veterans that are laid to rest there.

Veteran groups, Public, Community Organizations, and all that would like to assist in honoring and remembering those Veterans who served our Country are welcome to show their sacrifices are "NOT FORGOTTEN". Youth groups are especially welcome to assist us in the placement of the flags.

Flags will be onsite and you do not need to register or call, just please show up by 9:00am on Saturday, May 26th, RAIN OR SHINE....

Flags will be removed 6/2 also starting at 9:00am and help will be needed for this also.

Please pass along this request to help us honor those who were willing to serve and fight for the rights and freedoms we enjoy today.
