The men and women who voluntarily serve America in the military will be honored today at the Huntington Mall.

Red, White, and Blue Day will be celebrated from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. when the American Legion Post will distribute Blue Star Service Banners.
The banners are made to be hung in the windows of homes where a family member is serving in the military.

"This is great," said Scott Bynum, of Barboursville. "My cousin is in Afghanistan, and we are very proud of what he is doing for our country. We'll put that banner in our front living room window."

"It's important to remember that these men and women were not drafted-they volunteered," said Gisele Freeman, of Huntington, whose brother just retired after 20 years in the Air Force. "They decided to put their lives on the line to defend America. I'm glad the mall is recognizing their patriotism."
