To close the meeting Jim Foster was honored by the Burton Bend VFW post 9357. Post 9357 became aware of the hard work and dedication of Foster to make sure there are always American Flags displayed along the highway in Bartley. To help with Foster’s efforts the VFW donated a number of American Flags so older flags could be retired when necessary. The VFW also stated they will continue to make sure Foster always has a supply of American Flags.
