The VFW has teamed up with Ace Hardware to give away 1,000,000 stick flags in the weeks leading up to Memorial Day in an effort to mark as many veterans’ graves as possible. Ace retailers nationwide will donate up to 200 flags to their local VFW Posts and distribute them free to customers while supplies last.

If your Post receives a shipment of stick flags, please be sure to use them to decorate veterans’ graves or distribute them throughout your community this Memorial Day.

(Participating Posts were selected by Ace Hardware based on their proximity to participating stores. Not all Posts will receive flags.)

Look for more information on this initiative in the coming weeks by visitingvfw.orgor following us on social media.
