🇺🇸 Flag Retirement Ceremony – Join Us 🇺🇸

The American flag is a symbol of our nation’s freedom, unity, and the sacrifices made by those who have served. When a flag becomes worn, torn, faded, or otherwise unserviceable, it deserves to be retired with dignity and respect.

VFW Post 8555 invites the community to attend our Flag Retirement Ceremony as we honor and properly retire unserviceable American flags.

📅 Friday, June 19th
⏰ 10:00 AM
📍 VFW Post 8555
715 Houston Street
Poth, TX

This ceremony will be conducted in accordance with long-standing traditions and is open to the public. We encourage veterans, families, students, and community members to join us as we pay tribute to our nation’s flag.

🇺🇸 All are welcome.

Special thanks to the Poth ISD Future Farmers of America (FFA) for their support and participation.

🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

🇺🇸 Happy Flag Day! 🇺🇸

Today, June 14th, we proudly honor the Stars and Stripes—the enduring symbol of our nation’s freedom, unity, and resilience.

Since 1777, the American flag has represented the sacrifices of those who have defended our country and the values that bring us together as Americans. On this Flag Day, we remember the brave men and women who have served under our flag and those who continue to protect the freedoms it stands for.

Take a moment today to display your flag proudly, teach the next generation about its meaning, and reflect on the blessings of living in this great nation.

❤️🤍💙 God Bless Our Veterans
❤️🤍💙 God Bless Our Active-Duty Service Members
❤️🤍💙 God Bless America

🇺🇸 Let’s make this a night to remember as we celebrate 250 years of America! 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 We wanted to pass along some helpful information to our fellow Veterans and their families!

🚛 Are you a Veteran interested in earning your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL)?

There’s good news! Recent changes to federal law will make it easier for Veterans to use their GI Bill benefits at more CDL training locations. Previously, some training sites had to wait years before becoming eligible for GI Bill funding. These changes help remove those barriers and expand access to training opportunities closer to home.

This means more options, less waiting, and a smoother path toward a career in the transportation industry.

We’re simply sharing information that may be helpful to Veterans looking to make the most of their earned VA education benefits and explore new career opportunities.

To learn more, visit the VA News article below:
https://news.va.gov/146464/access-commercial-drivers-license-training/

🇺🇸

VA has implemented a key part of the “Dole Act,” improving how certain Commercial Driver’s License training programs are approved for VA education benefits.
