With Memorial Day and Flag Day upon us, the purchase of gravesite flags and other American, military, POW/MIA and state flags can be made through American Legion Emblem Sales at americanlegionflags.com. Emblem Sales is a leading seller of American-made U.S. flags, and your purchase helps support American Legion programs for veterans, their families and youth.

The American Legion has a Flag Rewards program that 2,262 posts are currently enrolled in. The free Flag Rewards program allows posts to earn a 10-cent credit for each dollar spent on the purchase of American flags from Emblem Sales. For example, if $100 is spent on the purchase of flags then the post receives $10 in flag rewards credit.

Flag purchases from Emblem Sales include those made by the post, as well as by the post’s members, friends, neighbors, local schools and businesses that choose to sponsor the post by buying their flags from The American Legion. Over 30,000 schools, businesses, organizations and individuals have signed up to sponsor a post.

If a sponsor purchases an American flag from Emblem Sales, they will need to request that their purchase benefits their local post and provide the post number. Flyers are available to help promote the program within your community. And a fillable appreciation certificate also is available for posts to recognize their sponsors.

Credit earned from participating in the Flag Rewards program is good toward the purchase of any item from the Emblem Sales catalog or website.
