The Agent Insurance Services to Hold 4th Annual Flag Day Flag Exchange

In celebration of Flag Day, we want to help our friends and neighbors show their American Spirit by proudly displaying beautiful American flags all over town through our popular Flag Day Flag Exchange on June 14^th.

Here’s how it works:

1. Stop by either our Boardman or Salem office on Friday, June 14th between 10am-4pm.

2. Bring us your old, tattered flag and we will give you a new replacement. Your old flag will be properly retired by Operation Flags of Freedom.

3. Don’t have a flag to exchange? No problem! We will happily give you one to display.

4. Show off your flag. Post pictures to social media and be sure to tag us! We are on Facebook at @TheAgentInsuranceServices and Instagram @TheAgentInsurance

BACK AGAIN THIS YEAR! Disaster Relief Services will be providing FREE hot dogs and hamburgers from 12-2pm at our Boardman office.

PLUS ModWash will be giving out FREE car wash coupons with every flag!

Don’t be shy! Our goal is to give away every flag that we have available. No purchase necessary. You don’t even need to be a customer of The Agent to receive a free flag (even though we’d love to have you as a customer!).

Supplies are limited and will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis. If you want one, come before it’s too late! Last year, flags went FAST. We will announce on social media when we run out.

There is nothing we’d love more than to see our town covered in beautiful, new American flags.

Flags can be picked up at either office of The Agent Insurance Services:

6911 Bridgewood Drive

Boardman

620 Columbia Street

Salem
