The Flag Day Honor Ceremony
The Valley Hospital Auxiliary Employee Branch raises a flag in tribute to family, friends, and colleagues for Flag Day!
On Thursday, June 12, the Valley Hospital Auxiliary celebrated its annual Flag Day ceremony in the Bedrin Flagpole Garden at The Valley Hospital. The garden was decorated with American flags, each one dedicated in honor or in memory of someone special.
Dave Bohan, Vice President and Chief Philanthropy Officer, commemorated the event and welcomed guest speaker Betty Ann Kempin, Valley Health System’s Vice President of Administration, along with special guests from the Midland Park/Wyckoff VFW Post 7086: Commander Ronald Gimbert, who served our country in the U.S. Navy, and Chaplain Ken Biswurn, who served in the U.S. Army—both during the Vietnam War.
The ceremony ended with the raising of the flag and the national anthem, sung by Valley employee Lynne Tampac. All funds raised will go toward the Auxiliary’s pledge of $3.1 million to support the Pediatric Section of the Emergency Department at The Valley Hospital and Valley Home Care’s Butterflies program.
