We have placed the flags at the Vietnam Era Veterans Memorial to honor Flag Day.

Each year on June 14, Americans celebrate Flag Day to honor the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as our national emblem in 1777. The Continental Congress established the flag’s design—thirteen stripes for the original colonies and thirteen stars for a new constellation of states—symbolizing unity, freedom, and the enduring spirit of independence. From battlefields to schools, from front porches to public squares, the flag has flown as a proud reminder of the sacrifices made to preserve liberty and the ideals our nation was founded upon.

Flag Day is more than a date on the calendar—it is a moment to reflect on what the flag represents to every generation of Americans. For veterans and their families, it stands as a living symbol of service, courage, and commitment to country. As communities across the nation raise the flag high, we renew our pledge to uphold the values it embodies: justice, equality, and the promise of freedom for all.

We have placed the memorial wreath and posted the flags at the Vietnam Era Veterans Memorial to honor Memorial Day.

Memorial Day, observed on the last Monday of May, stands as one of America’s most solemn and meaningful national observances—a day dedicated to honoring the men and women who gave their lives in service to the nation. Originating after the Civil War as Decoration Day, when citizens placed flowers on the graves of fallen soldiers, it evolved into a nationwide tribute encompassing all who died defending freedom.

The day reminds us that the liberties we enjoy were secured through sacrifice, and that remembrance is not a single act but a continuing duty. For communities across the country, Memorial Day is both a time of reflection and renewal. Ceremonies at cemeteries, parades through town squares, and quiet moments of prayer all serve to connect generations in gratitude.

It’s a day to teach youth the meaning of service, to comfort families who bear the cost of war, and to reaffirm our shared commitment to peace and unity. In honoring the fallen, we strengthen the living bond of loyalty and remembrance that defines the American spirit.

A big THANK YOU to the more than 35 community volunteers who participated in the VFW Day of Service to restore the Vietnam Era Veterans Memorial on Saturday. We also wish to thank Canby Landscape Supply for providing 5 yards of bark dust. Within the three hours of the project we polished the statute, cleaned the bricks, removed many dead stumps and bushes, and placed the 5 yards of bark dust. We are now ready for Memorial Day. Thank you!

Victory in Europe (VE) Day, observed on May 8,
commemorates the formal end of World War II in
Europe in 1945, when Allied forces accepted N**i
Germany’s unconditional surrender. For millions, it
marked the triumph of freedom over tyranny and
the beginning of peace after years of sacrifice and
hardship. Across the United States and allied
nations, spontaneous celebrations erupted as
citizens and servicemembers alike honored the
courage, unity, and perseverance that secured
victory.

For VFW Posts, VE Day stands as a solemn reminder
of the cost of liberty and a celebration of the
enduring spirit of those who fought to preserve it—
an opportunity to reflect on the legacy of the
Greatest Generation and to reaffirm our
commitment to peace and democracy
