Give A Kid A
Flag To Wave
July 4, 2021
Every July 4th, the Duneland Exchange Club participates in the 4th of July parade in Porter. ​We give kids of all ages a small American flag and/or pinwheel to celebrate our nation's birthday.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty
and justice for all.
Proudly We Hail Award
The Duneland Exchange Club proudly presents the Proudly We Hail Award to individuals, businesses, and organizations that show proper respect and patriotism by correctly displaying the American flag. This award recognizes those who honor our nation's symbol with dignity and care—keeping alive the traditions and values the flag represents.
The American flag is more than just a symbol—it’s a living representation of our nation’s history, ideals, and unity.
