Angel Baez, General Manager, Dole Fresh Vegetables Springfield, Ohio, accepts the Proudly We Hail project plaque from Springfield Club President Mark Sullivan, November 1, 2016 at the club’s Noon Meeting.

No symbol better signifies our nation’s greatness than our American flag—the Stars and Stripes. The Proudly We Hail program encourages regular display of the flag by individuals, commercial establishments and industries. To honor them a specially designed plaque is presented at a club meeting. Every club member can participate in the program because it is the individual member who watches for and nominates potential recipients. This outstanding program promotes Americanism as well as community recognition by the sponsoring Exchange Club.
