ANSONIA - The Gordon-Visselli American Legion Post 50 of Ansonia is hosting a Flag Walk this year to honor our war dead during the Memorial Day weekend.
Schools, organizations, businesses, veterans, and members of the public are invited to walk.
Bring a U.S. flag of any size, or military flag to join in. Patriotic colors: red, white, and blue, or veterans’ garb, is the uniform of the day.
The walk will be on May 30, starting at Nolan Field in Ansonia at 11 a.m. and proceed along the usual Memorial Day Parade route, ending at Veterans Park next to Ansonia City Hall, where a ceremony will be held.
It is an estimated 20-minute walk that will be escorted by Ansonia’s bravest, the Ansonia Fire Department. This is a fun and easy way to commemorate those “Who gave all”. Participants should be at Nolan Field 15 minutes prior to stepping off.
Whether two, 20 or 200 people, the Gordon-Visselli American Legion Post 50 is committed to paying homage to those men and women and their families for their ultimate sacrifices.
Please join in on this casual yet meaningful event. Family participation is encouraged.
