PARLIER, Calif. — The local non-profit out of Sanger, American Legion Post 23, has gone through every single U.S. memorial flag they found and listed the names found on the pole of the flags.

JD Bennett says his goal is to find a home for every flag to the families of those who have served.

He has returned several flags already since FOX26 News aired the story. He is hoping the message continues to spread to Parlier families who may know who the flags belong too.
