American Legion Post 143

The Kiwanis Club of Carrollton met on Friday, June 14, 2024, at local American Legion Post 143. Steve Fuller introduced our speaker, Judge Advocate Bill Hearnburg, who delivered an enlightening and powerful program on the significance of national Flag Day for our country and local community. Wearing his Air Force uniform of some 40 years ago, Hearnburg honored our local Veterans, providing a special challenge coin to commemorate the military service of local Kiwanians and to encourage them to keep patriotism going. He reinforced to our club that we don't have to be a veteran to be a patriot. Local legionnaire officers demonstrated the proper folding of the American flag, noting the folding and symbols for each of 13 folds. Our group had the pleasure of respectfully honoring the playing of taps.
