VFW Auxiliary honors those who display flag

VFW 6710 Auxiliary began its first round of patriotic recognitions on a day when the sun was high, offsetting the 30-degree weather.
We made many stops and had the opportunity to talk with homeowners who clearly have a sense of pride and connection to America. Some of them seemed pleasantly surprised to receive a certificate and a heartfelt “thank you” simply for flying the American flag high.
We encountered a couple of familiar faces, veterans and family alike, most who welcomed a brief visit, and others eager to share family history. I could envision sharing a cup of coffee with them and listening for hours to retold stories of bygone days.
