Your flag purchases can help us serve our community

I've had a number of people ask me over the years if they can purchase American flags through the American Legion. I'm happy to let you know that you can! In fact, I'd like to share the details of a program that allows you to purchase high quality flags while benefitting your local American Legion post.

participates in the American Legion's Flag Rewards Program. Simply place your order for flags through the Legion's website, or call toll free 1-888-453-4466. Be sure to mention that you'd like your purchase to benefit Post 80. The Legion then credits a portion of the purchase price to future purchases our post makes.

So whether you're purchasing a single flag to fly outside your home or purchasing a lot of flags for your organization, placing your next order through the American Legion can help us in . Additionally, you can be confident that the flags you purchase are 100% Made in the USA and are of the highest quality.

And do not forget that Post 80 also gives you a means of properly retiring your old flags. You will find a large flag disposal box located right in front of our post. Simply leave your old flags in the box, and you can be assured that we will with the appropriate dignity and honor they deserve.
