The Prescott American Legion Post 61 continues to make meaningful progress on its memorial flag presentation area, thanks in large part to strong community partnerships.

One key contributor to the effort has been Chad Steger of First National Bank of River Falls, whose hands-on support has helped ensure the project is accessible to everyone. Recognizing that not all community members are comfortable using QR codes or online ordering systems, Steger stepped in to bridge the gap. He has welcomed residents into the bank, personally explained the memorial brick program, and assisted them in completing the necessary paperwork to place orders.

His support will continue as the Legion prepares for its second round of brick orders, expected to be submitted by May 15. While that date marks the next major order, community members can still purchase engraved bricks after that time.

The memorial brick program offers a meaningful way to honor loved ones while supporting local veterans. Bricks can be engraved in honor or memory of anyone—not just service members—making it a lasting tribute for families and the broader community.

Those interested in purchasing a brick have several convenient options:

• Scan the QR code on the fundraiser flyer or order form
• Order online at: https://www.fundraisingbrick.com/online-orders/prescottlegion61/
• Mail or drop off an order form with payment to: Prescott American Legion Post 61, P.O. Box 98, Prescott, WI 54021
• Visit the Post 61 Canteen (Thursday–Saturday, 5–11 p.m.) to complete a form in person
• Stop by First National Bank, where Chad Steger is available to assist during normal banking hours

This ongoing project reflects the spirit of Prescott—neighbors helping neighbors, and a community coming together to create a place of honor and remembrance for generations to come.
