GREENVILLE The Greenville Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7262 (VFW) is currently flying an American flag that once flew over Iraq during combat in 2004.
Don Dietrich, VFW post quarter master, said he stumbled upon the flag while doing some spring cleaning.
“I was cleaning out some files at the VFW, and low and behold at the bottom of a drawer I found this flag that had flown over Afghanistan on November 6, 2004,” he said. “I thought, ‘why leave it in the box?’ I came out, our flag was bad, so I thought it was the perfect place to fly this flag.”
