Honor & Remember Flag Adopted in Virginia
Posted by Randy | March 03, 2010

A few months ago, I shared with you George Lutz’s story and his vision for creating a universal symbol to recognize those men and women who have lost their lives in service of our nation.

 

We received some exciting news today that the Virginia General Assembly voted to adopt the Honor and Remember Flag as an official symbol in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Virginia is the first state in the nation to do so, and it is a significant step forward in making this an official symbol across all 50 states to collectively recognize the sacrifice made by members of the Armed Forces.

 

In addition, I have been working throughout the 111th Congress with several of my colleagues in Washington to see this flag become an official national symbol. I have introduced legislation, H.R. 1034, which would establish the Honor and Remember Flag as such. The bill has received the support of the largest military officer’s association in the country, the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA).
