Waving the flag, waiving the price
Ace Hardware is collaborating with the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. to honor veterans by pledging to give out 1 million flags across the country.
On Saturday, May 26, people visiting participating stores can receive a free 8" x 12" American flag, while a second flag is donated to a local VFW Post to be used for marking and honoring veteran graves this Memorial Day.
"We are thrilled to continue our long-standing history of honoring veterans by supporting VFW Posts and local communities this Memorial Day," said John Surane, executive VP for Ace Hardware. "We applaud the VFW for the incredible support they've provided veterans nationwide for nearly 119 years and are grateful to be able to work together with our loyal customers and show our support this Memorial Day."
"Working alongside Ace to support our veterans is natural fit – their stores are located in communities across the country, just like our local Posts," said VFW National Commander Keith Harman. "We are grateful to receive this donation from Ace Hardware and their consumers, and we look forward to honoring our veterans in a big way this Memorial Day."
Ace Hardware says the flag event aligns with its history of supporting veterans nationwide. Ace's name is a commemoration of the "Flying Aces," the fighter pilots from the First World War.
The flag promotion is good "until supplies last." And another thing: the flags are made in the U.S.A.
