Convention Flag Pole Rings
 

 

 

National Convention Parade Flagpole Rings

We have them ALL!

 

I've asked others if they have all the flagpole rings, and have been told that they probably do, but they just throw them in a drawer somewhere. Post 298 has them on their Past Commander board, next to the name of the Commander. We have blank spots on the poles for the years during WW II (1942, 1943, 1944 and 1945) that no convention was held.

 

This is our current board. For the Commanders that have held the post more than one term, there are two rings next to their name.



The star indicates that the Past Commander is deceased.

This is a picture of the whole current board. Room for growth!

 

This shows the last two columns of the older board..

This is the whole older board. Our 1955 Commander is our Senior Living Past Commander.

We'd love to hear from other Legion Posts about how many parade rings they have.

President Abraham Lincoln as stated in the Gettysburg Address

 "From these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the 
last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain."
