This year on June 14 we are celebrate Flag Day and the 245th Birthday of the U.S. Army. With the coronavirus pandemic celebrating any event has become challenging.  Minnesota DAV Chapter 39 members Ken Plant and Lisa Miller creatively made the final presentation of an embroidered blanket to honor the only military resident of Landings of Blaine, Louie Andrade. Presentations of the blankets has been an ongoing campaign started by Miller last year to honor the military service of veterans living in nursing homes throughout MN Chapter 39’s five-plus county area. Andrade served in the U.S. Army from 1945 to 1949.  The presentation was made with the use of a cell phone while displaying his blanket through his window.  Andrade’s blanket presentation was even more meaningful to him as he has been in isolation since March as he receives weekly dialysis.  Happy Birthday to the U.S. Army and Old Glory and “thank you for your service Louie.”  #100ActsOfHonor #ArmyBirthday #FlagDay
