At the July 2 regular meeting, Captain Michael Panzera presented Post 54 with an American flag that had flown over the 50th Infantry Brigade in Iraq on December 25, 2008. Captain Panzera also thanked the post for its support during his deployment there.
"This flag bears witness to the strength and resolve of the American spirit. This flag represents the sustained sacrifices of the American Service Member and their willingness to defend and embody the values of honor, duty, and selfless sacrifice. This flag honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the war against terrorism and those whose lives will forever be changed as a result of the American determination displayed during Operation Iraqi Freedom."
