On 11/19, Eagan American Legion Post 594 presented a Flag Collection Box to Sam’s Club – Eagan. This Sam’s Club has been very supportive to various Legion activities by donating cake, refreshments, and dinnerware to events such as recognizing High School seniors heading into the military. Sam’s has also supported some of the post’s Children and Youth programs as well the Auxiliary’s Poppy Day event. Post 594 and Sam’s Club have had a very meaningful relationship these past two years. The collection box was made by the residents of the MN Veterans Home in Hastings, in that facility’s Therapy Woodshop. Post Commander John Flynn and Color Guard members Jerry Skala, Frank Russomanno, and David Hammer presented this box to the associates and leadership team of Sam’s Club. The flags will be regularly collected by post members and accumulated for the annual, and honorable, flag retirement ceremony conducted on Flag Day.
