History made at VMC’s Flag Dedication Ceremony

History was made yesterday at Valley Medical Center.

In a moving ceremony Monday morning VMC’s new flagpoles, installed as a result of 2008’s Measure A, were commissioned and dedicated. The Stars and Stripes, California State Flag and POW-MIA flag are now flying proudly in front of the main hospital thanks to our own VMC Color Guard, Veteran Marines all, from VMC’s Protective Services Department. No ceremony like it had ever taken place before.

VMC Foundation Executive Director Chris Wilder posted his thoughts, and a moving speech from Colonel William Peacock, on his blog yesterday. To read Chris’ full article, click here: http://bit.ly/abFsIQ
