Over 170 American flags planted at Adams County VFW

Organizers from Wreaths Across America joined volunteers at the Richard Gross VFW and Auxiliary Post in East Berlin Adams County, to plant American flags ahead of Independence Day.
“In 2019 we did a fundraiser in person. In 2020, when COVID hit and we could not do things in person, we had to come up with an idea on how we were going to raise the funds to purchase our wreaths for the veterans’ graves in December,” said Location Coordinator Melissa Kopp-Smith
That idea became Flags for Heroes, a fundraising program for people to sponsor flags for $50.
The money raised is used to buy wreaths for veterans in nearby cemeteries.
Anyone who sponsors a flag will receive a special pin, with a duplicate pin attached to the flag while it stands.
