Flag Presentations

We want to be sure that each loved one is respectfully recognized and honored individually by name and that each family’s sacrifice not be forgotten. Because of the importance of this campaign in educating the country in the daily remembrance of each precious life, these presentations are suggested to be made formally in a public ceremony. They are not simply shipped or mailed, so on Sat, June 14th, 2014, sponsored by Frontier Communications, Honor and Remember presented a personalized flag to the Allen family in Chester, NY.

The flag was for U.S. Army First Lieutenant Louis Allen, who was killed while on active… duty in Iraq, on June 8, 2005.

First Lieutenant Allen, of Milford, Pa., had been assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 42 Infantry Division, New York Army National Guard, Troy, N.Y

The flag was presented at noon on Saturday, June 14, to Gold Star Parents Vivian and Bob Allen of Chester, N.Y., and their family, with Frontier leadership, veteran and reservist employees, and honored guests in attendance. The presentation was made at the Allens’ home in Chester, N.Y.

Lou Allen was a science teacher at George S. Baker High School in Tuxedo.

Featuring a gold star, eternal flame and folded flag over a red background, the Honor and Remember Flag is part of a national campaign of remembrance symbolizing gratitude and respect for those who make the ultimate sacrifice in military service. The flag is personalized with Army 1 Lt. Allen’s name and date of death.
