Ace Hardware Is Honoring Fallen Heroes
Ace Hardware is taking a big step to help Americans observe Memorial Day.
In honor of the service members who died fighting in the line of duty, the hardware store is giving away 1 million free American flags on Saturday, May 24.
Ace, together with the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), is offering the 8-by-12-inch flags to customers at participating locations nationwide.
To kick off the season, stores will also be throwing a “Summer BBQ Party” on the same day, with sales on patio furniture, grills, outdoor equipment and more.
“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,” Ace Hardware’s chief marketing officer Kim Lefko said. “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.”
