🇺🇸 Happy Flag Day!

Today we honor the American flag and the values it represents—freedom, unity, and the sacrifices of those who have served our nation. On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes as the official flag of the United States.

Take a moment today to proudly display your flag and reflect on the principles that bring us together as Americans.

Summer is here, and June brings several opportunities to reflect, celebrate, and connect with our community. This month, we recognize Flag Day on June 14, which commemorates the adoption of the United States flag by the Continental Congress in 1777. It's a day to honor the flag and what it represents—freedom, unity, and the sacrifices made by those who serve our nation.

We also celebrate Father's Day, honoring the fathers, grandfathers, and father figures who guide, support, and inspire their families and communities every day.

As always, our volunteers continue training and serving throughout the month. Be sure to check out our June calendar for upcoming events and reminders, and if you've ever thought about volunteering, we'd love to see you at one of our Thursday night meetings or training sessions.

Thank you for supporting MTVFR, and we wish everyone a safe and enjoyable June!
