Memorial Day 2009
Agents from Prudential California Realty in San Bruno showered the South San Francisco and San Bruno areas with American Flags on the Memorial Day Weekend. Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation’s service. Memorial Day was officially proclaimed in May 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic. The Prudential agents say besides remembering those that gave their lives for us putting out the flags beautifies the neighborhood. After walking up one side and down the other side of the street putting flags in the front yards of all the homes we turn around and see the flags waving in the wind. “What a great sight”, they all exclaim. The wonderful fulfilling feeling surely outweighs the sore backs from bending down and the sore legs from walking up and down the hills. Over 5000 flags were distributed over this past Memorial Day Weekend. This is the second consecutive year the San Bruno office of Prudential has done this for their neighbors. Next year they are aiming for 10,000 homes.

Hi Lee,
I think that it is great that our offices puts out the flags. I do undestand it does take a lot of work and effort, but it is very nice to see all the flags out in the neighborhoods. 5,000 is already a great number to put out. 10,000 would be an even great sight. Glad to see the office recognize Memorial Day in a creative way.

thanks for sharing the experience, I will never forget the first year Crestmoor park was done, I happened to be driving to my son’s home and saw the street lined with the flags. A feeling not soon or apparently ever forgotten.
Lee,
It was great to hear how people in the neighborhood reacted, and congrats on a great concept.
Wishing all continued success with the project!
