Ace Hardware announced it will be continuing its tradition of giving away one million American flags on Memorial Day this year.
In partnership with the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), customers who visit participating Ace locations on May 24, will receive a free eight- by 12-inch American flag and can participate in savings offered by Ace on a wide selection of summer products, starting May 13.
“Ace is proud to support this important initiative and offer American flags to both our customers and the VFW in remembrance of those who gave their lives in service,” says Kim Lefko, chief marketing officer at Ace Hardware. “With our stores nationwide, this is a special opportunity for Ace, our customers, and our team members to come together and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice.”
“We are grateful to work alongside Ace to remember and honor those who have fallen in service to our nation,” says Al Lipphardt, VFW national commander. “Memorial Day is a time to reflect on the sacrifices of our service members, men like Pvt. Lewis Sloan of East Point, Georgia, Cpl. Kenneth Adams of Santa Clara, California, Cpl. Philip Adams of Croton Falls, New York, Robert Waddell of Batavia, Ohio, and Rodney Loatman of Newark, New Jersey. These men served under my command when they paid the ultimate price for freedom, and this initiative ensures their service, and all who gave their full measure of devotion, will never be forgotten.”
During the sale, Ace will offer special discounts on grills, premium tools, outdoor equipment, patio furniture and accessories from brands such as Weber, DEWALT, Big Green Egg and EGO.
