We are aware that the bin to donate clothing for Paralyzed Veterans is full and people have been leaving bags around the bin. I called them last week and I just called them again and they ensured me that someone will be out today or tomorrow. Sorry for any inconvenience to the community.

Today with members of VFW Fred Calaway Post 6770 and the Auxiliary of Post 6770 we finished putting out flags at all local cemeteries and memorials. If we happen to miss one of your loved ones burial site, please know that it wasn’t intentional or malicious. We put out approximately 1728 flags and sometimes our volunteers and veterans might miss one. Please stop by American Legion Post 550 New Richmond, Ohio or VFW Fred Calaway Post 6770 to pick up a flag for your loved one’s burial site anytime we are open. Thank You
