OGH Auxiliary honors veterans through annual Flags of Honor display

Purchased Flags of Honor displayed on the front lawn of Olean General Hospital honoring those who have served.

OLEAN, NY - The Olean General Hospital (OGH) Auxiliary proudly concluded its annual Flags of Honor display, recognizing military veterans past and present through a tribute supported by members of the community.

Displayed on the front lawn of Olean General Hospital, a Kaleida Health facility, the American flags served as a visible symbol of gratitude and remembrance throughout Armed Forces Day and Memorial Day. Community members purchased flags in honor or memory of veterans, creating a meaningful tribute to service, sacrifice and patriotism.

"The Flags of Honor display is a heartfelt way for our community to recognize the courageous individuals who have served our country," said Erica Dreher, OGH Auxiliary. "We are grateful to everyone who participated to help honor our veterans and remember those who made lasting sacrifices."

Proceeds from the annual fundraiser support the Olean General Hospital Auxiliary and its continued efforts to advance the mission and vision of Olean General Hospital.
