Davis-Darrow-Meyer Post No. <br /> The American Legion <br /> <br /> P.O. Box 26 <br /> <br /> Elk River, Minnesota 55330 <br /> <br />112 <br /> <br />7 March 1997 <br /> <br />Mr. Larry Farber <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />Subject: Display of United States Flags <br /> <br />Mr. Farber, <br /> <br /> American Legion Post 112 would like to express support for the display of United <br />States flags in the City of Elk River. We have committed a great amount of effort over the <br />years to displaying flags along the main thorough fares and streets in the City, particularly <br />on patriotic days. We like to think that this display of flags along with the activities of the <br />Elk River Honor Guard on Memorial Day, 4th of July, County Fair parade and the <br />Homecoming parade have had a positive influence on the respect for our flag and country. <br />This respect is dearly displayed by our community at parades and at events where the <br />national anthem is performed. <br /> <br /> With this in mind, we would like to support the request of Perkins restaurant to <br />display the United States flag on a 70 foot pole on their property along Highway 169. We <br />feel this installation would add to the tradition of Elk River as the "City of Flags". <br /> <br />Regards, <br /> <br /> <br />
