May 5, 2015 (Photos by Larry Hume) - Members of the community and VFW Post 8904 gathered at the Senior Nutrition Site in Center on Loop 500 on Friday, May 1, 2015 in honor of Loyalty Day and to remember Pam White.
Larry Hume, Post Quartermaster, led the ceremony and remarked on being at the site in 2014 for Loyalty Day just previous to the replacement of the then old flag pole and in honor of Pam White, "Unfortunately we had a very tragic incident on April the 29th when Pam White passed away and on Loyalty Day last year we dedicated the flag pole to her."
Hume indicated a plaque on the flag pole in memory of White which reads, 'In Memory of Pam White, Shelby County Outreach Ministries, 1995-2014.'
"Today we want to remember Pam also and we replaced the U.S. flag not long ago but we thought the Texas flag could stand a little facelift," said Hume.
Gene Hutto, Post Chaplain, and Mike Langford, Post Commander, lowered the Texas flag and in honor of both Loyalty Day and Pam White and hoisted the new Texas flag.
Following the ceremony, members of the VFW Post 8904 and Ladies Auxiliary gathered with members of the community by the Senior Nutrition Site sign.
