Plover Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 10262 conducted a "First Flag" Flag-raising ceremony for the Food and Farm Exploration Center on Tuesday, July 7th.

VFW Rifle Squad Commander Norb Strasser introduced Food and Farm Executive Director Alexandria Behrend and welcomed her staff, guests and community members to the ceremony and commenced, “We have the honor of presenting the National Standard, The Flag of the United States, to this worthy organization – Food and Farm Exploration Center in the Village of Plover.”
The Flag was presented to Director Behrend by Plover VFW Officer of the Day Perry Engel, “We ask only that you always respect, and if necessary, defend this great and beautiful Flag, even at the risk of giving your lives to our nation’s cause.” The VFW Rifle Squad Flag Detail unfolded, attached and raised the garrison-sized Flag as the bugler sounded "Reveille" and “To The Colors.”

Following the Pledge of Allegiance, the singing of the National Anthem and a prayer by VFW Post Chaplain Bob Decker, the State of Wisconsin flag and a newly-designed Food and Farm Exploration Center flag were also raised. The sounding of TAPS concluded the ceremony.

VFW Post 10262 Participates in Flag Day Ceremony
By Tim Bubla
On June 14, members of Plover VFW Post 10262 joined the Elks Lodge 641 of Stevens Point and American Legion Post 6 in honoring the American flag during the Elks Lodge's annual Flag Day Ceremony. Traditional Elks Lodge 641 readings highlighted the history of the flag and the sacrifices made by generations of Americans who have defended our nation's freedoms.

The ceremony opened with a rifle volley salute by Plover VFW Post 10262 and American Legion Post 6 members. VFW Honor Guard members Tim Bubla and Debbie Manthey then performed a traditional flag-folding ceremony while VFW Chaplain Bob Decker read the meaning behind each of the thirteen folds, reminding attendees of the values and sacrifices represented by the American flag.

The ceremony proved especially meaningful as participants reflected on the approaching 250th anniversary of the United States and remembered the generations of American men and women who have given their lives in service to the nation.

The service banner tradition began more than 100 years ago as a way for military families to be seen.

A Blue Star in the window meant a loved one was serving.
A Gold Star meant that loved one had died.

These banners were never just fabric. They were a quiet public symbol of service, sacrifice, pride, worry, grief, and family.

Today, Green Star carries that tradition forward for families of Veterans who died by su***de. Because these families have also served and sacrificed. They have also been left behind carrying a loss many do not see.

Green Star Families of America is working for recognition, connection, and a place in the service-banner tradition for families who have stood in the silence for too long.

No family should feel invisible.
