Brittney Hinsdale and Erin Freeman created this beautiful flag and "God Bless America" out of plastic cups. The girls have done this on their own time and with their own money. They wanted to do something for thair grandfather and all veterans.
The girls are grandaughters of Phil and Dot Blackburn.
The American Legion was founded in 1919 in Paris, France, at the close of World War I. The organization now includes veterans of World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Lebanon/Grenada periods, Operation Just Cause in Panama, Desert Storm, Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom and Global War On Terror.
The American Legion, since its founding, has endeavored to assist veterans, their widows and children, and their fellow citizens. The North Carolina American Legion, with over 40,000 paid members,
are proud to carry on this tradition. We invite you to join us and help support Americas Veterans.
