🇺🇸❤️ A Proud Salute to Our Flag Bearers, American Legion Posts & Color Guard! ❤️🇺🇸

As we continue reflecting on the dedication of our Veteran Wall, we extend our deepest gratitude to those who proudly presented flags during the ceremony. Their participation set a powerful tone and served as a reminder of the freedoms we enjoy because of those who have served. 🇺🇸

⭐ Flag of the United States of America — SSGT. Ken Dobitz
⭐ National League of Families POW/MIA Flag — SGT. Tom Bakken
⭐ North Dakota State Flag — SP4. Leroy Siverson
⭐ United States Army Flag — SFC. Mark Wanner
⭐ United States Marine Corps Flag — SGT. Cameron Coates
⭐ United States Navy Flag — IC3. Leslie Paulson
⭐ United States Air Force Flag — MSG. Jason Anderson
⭐ North Dakota Army National Guard Flag — SGT. Colin Dunn

Seeing each flag carried with such pride was a powerful reminder of the values and sacrifices they represent. While each branch of service has its own unique mission, all are united by a shared commitment to defending our country and protecting our freedoms. Together, these flags served as a moving tribute to the generations of Americans who have answered the call to serve.

Because of their service—both in uniform and once again during this ceremony—the Veteran Wall Dedication became an unforgettable tribute to all who have served.

Lastly, we offer our sincere thanks to the three area American Legion Posts whose continued commitment to honoring veterans played an important role in making this ceremony a success. Your service to our communities extends far beyond this event, and we are grateful for all that you do to preserve the legacy of those who have served. 💙

From all of us, thank you for continuing to lead by example and for helping us honor the legacy of America's veterans. ❤️🤍💙
