This Memorial Day Weekend Neir’s Tavern and Neir’s Ambassadors were honored to join the effort in planting 27,000 flags at the graves of our fallen soldiers as we do for nearly 5 years.

As a small local tavern, we’re not filled with resources but we’re filled with the heart to help.

The returning visits by you and many customers help us continue to serve the community while remaining financially strong on Neir’s Tavern’s Road to 200 years in 2029.

So I want to thank you for helping us thank our veterans.

With over 100 volunteers and organizations, this was truly a community conquers all moment.

Special Thanks to
* Carlos Varon, Volunteer Location Coordinator, Cypress Hills National Cemetery
* Commissioner Yesenia Meta-NYC Dept of Veteran Services
* Lt Col Kris Scott-New York Military Youth Cadet Corp
* Jessie Figueroa-Commander Dist 1-VFW Post 546
