Veterans in obtaining benefits. If you are a Veteran and want to

The flags were raised for Veterans Day on Thurs., Nov. 10. The flags
will be raised on Dec. 6 for Pearl Harbor Day. Thank you to those few
dedicated resident volunteers who are up "at the crack of dawn" on
these special days to put up and take down our flags.
The Flag Brigade is currently looking for a few volunteers that
would be interested in helping to raise and lower the flags. For
more information, contact Nick Gercis at nick.gercis@gmail.com.

To all Veterans, thank you for your service!
FLAG BRIGADE
Our U.S. Flag has 13 stripes which
represents the 13 original colonies.
Aug. 26, 2022 was the one-year
anniversary of the Afghanistan terrorist
attack that killed 13 U.S. service members.
I had a custom flag designed in their
honor.
The heroes who were lost that day gave
their lives to defend their teammates and
to help save the lives of tens of thousands
of innocent Afghan people who sought
freedom and the opportunity for a better
life.
This is a time for all Americans to
reflect upon the service and sacrifice of
all military members, especially those 13
killed.
