In memory of the many veterans who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, Sons of the American Legion Squadron 1796, planted American flags on Omaha and Utah Beaches, and at the American Cemetery, in Normandy, France. The flag placement was performed by Vice-Commander Chris Eachus, on behalf of the entire squadron. The purpose of the Sons of the American Legion is to foster respect and recognition for all of our veterans who have served throughout history for our nation and to further Americanism in our communities.
