On September 11th of 2001, the United States of America was attacked in one of the nation's worst acts of terrorism ever. In a matter of a few minutes, thousands of lives were ended and millions of other lives were affected.
We at Delafield take pride in being an American company, distributing and producing products that are American made. We cherish our rights to freedom and the opportunities provided to every American. Therefore, as many of us around this nation feel, it is our duty to give something back in this time of need.
At the end of the 2001 year, Delafield proudly donated to the New York Firefighters 911 Disaster Relief Fund to aid the families of those firefighters and EMS personnel who were on the scene of the New York disaster.
Delafield is also proud to announce that after months of hunting for a flagpole during a nationwide shortage, we were able to finally let Old Glory wave freely for the first time.
Accompanied by several city and state officials, including the Mayor of Duarte, Phil Reyes, and the 28th District Congressman Field Representative, David Olivas, a special ceremony was held to dedicate both the flag and the small plaque beneath it to the memory of those lost in the September 11th attacks.
From this point on the American Flag will wave proudly over our corporate office for years to come.
