"On June 6, 1944, thousands of brave young Americans charged into the unknown, facing impossible odds on the beaches of Normandy.

They did not know if they would see another sunrise. They only knew freedom was worth fighting for. Their courage helped defeat tyranny and change the course of history." (American Legion National Headquarters)

Today, the members of the American Legion, Reedsport OR Post #62 pay their respects to those who came before us. American Flags will fly throughout Reedsport in remembrance of DDay and those who gave all. May we never forget their sacrifice.

🇺🇸 With Memorial Day approaching, we are reminded that each fold of a flag holds meaning. The final fold however, the one right before the flag is cradled and handed to a grieving family, says what words cannot. We pause in silence for the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. We honor their memory, their families, and the weight of every fold that tells their story. We will never forget.
