2026 Fourth of July Flag Walk
Celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday with a morning of community, reflection, and patriotism.
This year, we are proud to support event organizer, Russ Lauf, as he continues the tradition that started in Westmont five years ago. Looking ahead, the ECMen Vets are preparing to take the lead for future walks, but for this milestone anniversary, we are honored to walk alongside Russ to make this the biggest year yet.
Last year, 85 participants joined the walk. For this milestone anniversary of our country, our goal is to bring 250 people together to honor the red, white, and blue.
