OAK BROOK, IL, -- In honor of Memorial Day, Ace Hardware is continuing its tradition of supporting the community by giving away 1 million American flags on Saturday, May 24, in conjunction with the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW). Ace is also recognizing Memorial Day by offering customers significant savings on a wide selection of summer essentials. From May 13 through May 26, shoppers can take advantage of special discounts on grills, premium tools, outdoor equipment, patio furniture, and accessories from trusted brands such as Weber, DEWALT, Big Green Egg, and EGO.
On Saturday, May 24, customers can visit participating Ace stores to receive a free 8” x 12” American flag while supplies last.* For each flag given to customers, a second flag will be donated to local VFW posts to be placed on veterans’ graves in tribute.
“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,” said 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,” said VFW National Commander Al Lipphardt. “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.”
