Northfield EMS Explorers and Our National Symbol

Tonight the Northfield EMS Explorer Post 3300 was having a meeting at as usual.

But something unusual happened to the post.

Bill Murphy, Commander of the accompanied by 4 VFW members, interrupted that meeting. You see, something was missing. The American flag. The Explorers had written a letter to the VFW requesting help to obtain flags for the post to Honor our great nation.

The Northfield VFW came through.

Tonight, the VFW presented and dedicated the United States Flag and the MN State Flag to the Explorer Post. It was an honor to see our post receiving them as well as our young adults saluting the flags and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. The post normally opens all meeting with the pledge, but tonight, I, Jim Ingham, left the small flag that we had been using, at home. Now, the task of having a Post Unit flag made.

These EMS Explorers are proud of their new flags.

Thank you Bill, and all of the members of Northfield VFW Post 4393. We are Honored by your gift.
