Flag Day Ceremonies, June 14th, 2007
On June 14th, 2007, AMVETS Post 2 observed Flag Day in a big way!
The colors were presented and posted by the Anchorage West High School Air Force R.O.T.C. Color Guard, Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich was the guest speaker, and the local chapter of the National Sojourners gave a presentation about the history of our flag. Afterwards, KTUU Channel 2's Jackie Purcell gave her live weather forecast from the Post.
There were free hamburgers, hotdogs, softdrinks, and bottled water for all who attended. The burgers and hotdogs were cooked by members of the Sons of AMVETS, Squadron 2. Great Job Guys!
The ceremonies were a huge success, due to the efforts of Pamela Beale, J.W. "Red" Terrill, the Ladies Auxiliary and all others who participated.
