Join us for a Veterans Day ceremony to honorably retire worn and tattered American flags on November 11th. The event will be held at the Stenz-Griesell-Smith American Legion Post #449 in Brookfield. Local veterans and Boy Scouts will help retire the hundreds of flags dropped off by customers and neighbors at Southeast Wisconsin bank offices throughout the month of October.Watch local Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts from St. John Vianney and veterans from American Legion Post #449 respectfully burn the flags during a solemn flag retirement ceremony steeped in history and tradition.
Hear from Stars and Stripes Honor Flight representatives as they discuss the importance of Honor Flights and accept a check for $1,500 to help fund future veteran trips to Washington, D.C. North Shore Bank pledged $1 for every flag collected and members of the community made additional contributions during the bank’s flag collection last month.
