❤️ 115 Flags. One Incredible Legacy. ❤️

Beginning tonight, June 29, 115 commemorative FJH flags will be flying throughout our community in honor of Frank. Seeing so many flags displayed is a powerful reminder of the lives Frank touched and the community that continues to stand behind the FJH Initiative.

If you purchased a flag, we'd love for you to help us fill social media with Frank's legacy. Between June 29 and July 11, take a photo of your flag flying, post it, and tag the FJH Initiative so we can share it.

Thank you for your love, your support, and for helping us carry on Frank's legacy. Every flag tells a story, and together they remind us that a legacy lives on in the lives we continue to impact.
