This Flag Day, a Quad City funeral home is looking to help you retire your old and tattered American flags as you help them give veterans a proper send-off.

An opportunity for veterans to meet face-to-face with representatives from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and other organizations.

There were 288 registered Corvettes for the event which raised thousands for QC area veterans.

You can help do so by volunteering to place flags on the graves of fallen soldiers at the Rock Island National Cemetery today.

Let's face it, for all the wonders of the internet, it has given us social media, which can be pretty nasty. So, it's nice when we see folks helping each other online rather than carping.
