Happy Flag Day!

Today we proudly celebrate our nation’s flag and the values it represents. As we look upon Old Glory, let us remember the veterans, service members, and families whose dedication and sacrifice have helped preserve the freedoms we enjoy every day.

Remember them. Honor them. Teach the next generation.

🇺🇸 D-Day – June 6, 1944 🇺🇸

Today we remember the courage and sacrifice of the brave men who landed on the beaches of Normandy 82 years ago. Their actions helped change the course of history and protect the freedoms we cherish today.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

Remember Me

As the haunting notes of Taps echo through the air this Memorial Day, we pause to honor the brave men and women who gave everything in service to our nation.

This year’s Wreaths Across America theme, “Remember Me,” reminds us that every name, every story, and every sacrifice matters. We remember not only how they served, but how they lived—their dreams, their families, their laughter, and their unwavering commitment to something greater than themselves.

As you listen to Taps today, take a moment to reflect on those who never made it home. Speak their names. Share their stories. Teach the next generation why their sacrifice must never be forgotten.

Remember the fallen. Honor those who serve. Teach the next generation the value of freedom.

🇺🇸 Remember Me. Today and every day. 🇺🇸

Don’t forget!! Tomorrow’s the day you can swap out your old flag for a new one and learn how to properly care for and fly your flag as well.

We’re proud to support the efforts of the cadets of Alton High School AFJROTC as they lead the way in teaching our community how to properly care for and retire our flags. 🇺🇸

Bring your old, worn out 3 X 5 flags and they will swap them out for new ones—and don’t forget to share this information with others. Let’s make sure our flags are flying high and proud this Memorial Day!
