July 4, 2026 Ceremony Honors Veterans and Celebrates America’s 250th Anniversary

Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 6787, Carlsborg, WA, and the Michael

Trebert Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR), invite the

community to attend the dedication of the Veterans Circle Flags of Honor Project at Mt. Angeles

Memorial Park, 45 Monroe Road, Port Angeles, on Saturday, July 4, 2026.

The ceremony begins promptly at 9:45 a.m. as the community gathers to honor Veterans and

celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the United States.

After six months of planning, fundraising, and volunteer service, Veterans Circle will be transformed

as 50 new American flags are raised together. The Made-in-USA 5’ x 8’ flags will fly on 15-foot

aluminum flagpoles secured in newly installed concrete sleeves, creating a lasting tribute of honor

and remembrance.

Each flagpole features a personalized gold dedication tag recognizing Veterans who have served our

nation. The project replaces the former cotton flags, providing a more durable and visible tribute that

can proudly stand during community observances including Memorial Day, Independence Day, and

Veterans Day.

“The Flags of Honor Project shows what happens when community partners unite with a shared

commitment to honor Veterans,” said Commander Yarnchak of VFW Post 6787. “These flags

represent gratitude, remembrance, freedom, and the enduring spirit of America.”

The public is invited to attend this meaningful dedication as 50 flags rise together in tribute to the

sacrifices and service of generations of American Veterans.
