VA Eastern Kansas will host an American Braille Flag Dedication on Friday where a donated tactile braille flag honoring blind veterans will be dedicated. The ceremony begins at 11 a.m. at the Lt. Gen. Richard J. Seitz Community Based Outpatient Clinic across from the main entrance to the CBOC.

Visually impaired Veterans from the Visual Impairment Service Team Program will be in attendance along with the Heartland Regional Group of the Blinded Veterans Association.

The American Braille Flag Project's goal is to place the American braille flag in all facilities visited by blind Veterans and blind Americans to that they may see the American braille flag by the touch of their fingers.

The ceremony is open to the public.
