With the assistance of the Redmond VFW Honor Guard Post 2995, senior living community Arrowhead Gardens at 9200 2nd Avenue s.w. dedicated their new flag pole on Nov.9 with a raising of the American Flag.
Brent Wilde, and Arthur Ridge, both veterans and Doris Murphy Stanton whose husband was in the Navy gathered with Redmond VFW Commander Paul Magat to walk the flag from the facility entrance to the flagpole location at the northeast corner of the property. This location is prominent and easily visible from the road.
They were joined by bagpiper Helen Sanders and Bugler Jack Steidl who was also from Post 2995.
Leasing Director, Cinda Madonna said, "We had a virgin flagpole that we installed in September and decided wanted to dedicate it Veterans Week, because Veterans Day (Nov. 11) is very, very busy. Then by the grace of god a Vietnam Vet, Jim Weaver walked in to lease here and I said to Jim, 'How do I get a flagpole dedicated?' and he said he knew just the man to call (...) and then I rallied my seniors."
