Post 1371 Ladies and Men\u2019s Auxiliaries gathered on Wednesday afternoon, June 24 to dedicate a new U.S. Flag at Riverview Manor, located at 510 Fifth Ave. in Owego, N.Y.<\/p>\n<p>Attending the ceremony were Riverview Manor staff along with residents who are veterans. Riverview is home to 18 residents who are veterans, many of whom were able to enjoy a picture perfect summer day on the front porch of the facility while watching the ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>During the ceremony, Auxiliary members led the \u201cPledge of Allegiance\u201d as well as asking for a moment of silence. Several of the attendees who were able, stood and saluted during the ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>Ladies Auxiliary member, Joan Vassil, who initiated the new flag dedication, shared, \u201cIt\u2019s very important that we do this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vassil\u2019s husband, Thomas, a Korean War veteran and also a Riverview resident, was present at the ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>Also attending the ceremony was Austyn Conti of Owego, a young woman who has been involved with the V.F.W. Junior Girls for many years and has held the role of group leader for Angels over Afghanistan, a group of youth who collect donations and send care packages to deployed soldiers.<\/p>\n<p>Ladies Auxiliary President, Jean Sabol, explained that the V.F.W. Junior Girls groups have recently been disbanded nationwide, however she is hopeful that a new effort encouraging boys and girls ages five to 17 to be involved as \u201cPatriotic Youth\u201d will continue the tradition of serving the community.<\/p>\n<p>Ray Barrett, Chaplain of V.F.W. Post 1371 Men\u2019s Auxiliary, explained that the old flag lowered and removed at Riverview would be part of a special retirement ceremony later, as is officially done when flags are changed out.<\/p>\n<p>The Ladies and Men\u2019s Auxiliary share a common goal by serving the veterans of the community and also honor the sacrifices and commitment of every man and woman who has served in uniform.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_44008\" style=\"width: 205px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/owegopennysaver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/WGOPFlags2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44008\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-44008\" src=\"http:\/\/owegopennysaver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/WGOPFlags2-195x300.jpg\" alt=\"New Flag dedicated at Riverview Manor\" width=\"195\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-44008\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Riverview Manor residents who are also veterans, salute during a Flag dedication ceremony held on Wednesday, June 24 in Owego, N.Y.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_44010\" style=\"width: 173px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/owegopennysaver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/WGOPFlags4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44010\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-44010\" src=\"http:\/\/owegopennysaver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/WGOPFlags4-163x300.jpg\" alt=\"New Flag dedicated at Riverview Manor\" width=\"163\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-44010\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Members of the V.F.W.
