My name is SPC Mercedes White. An honorably discharged veteran of the 411th Engineering Battalion. As some of you may know, I’m the kid climbing a flag poll in Fort Dodge retiring worn, torn, and weathered flags in that post that took off. I’ve spent years trying to contact the people in charge of these flags with no success. These flags are not my
Only concern, as there are multiple around my town and surrounding towns that need to come down. I have been retiring them all the the VFW.  

Now I have asked for accountability, I’ve demanded it, now I’m taking it into my own hands. My goal is to raise funds so I can replace all flags I retire. Not just city flags but personal flags as more people are willing to remove theirs if they have a replacement handed to them.

With the overwhelming support I’ve received, it’s been recommended I start and account and page to allow people to donate and keep track of the progress. I will soon be posting the usernames and accounts to which you may donate. Thank you all in advance!
