Wagner Labor Day would not be what it is without the Wagner Legion Greer Post #11. Every year without fail, they gather on the Friday of Labor Day weekend to place the flags up in the park and then take them down Labor Day Monday evening. This year was no exception. Even though it was an extremely hot Labor Day weekend the flags blew beautifully in the park. Members of the Wagner American Legion, Sons of the American Legion and the Wagner American Legion Auxiliary that helped put up and take down the flags were Clayton Rados, Paul Kucera, Jacob Kucera, Barb Kucera, Dennis Merkwan, Melvin Horner, Bruce Specketer, Jay Youngbluth, Don Hubbard, Jerry Seiner, Dave Isebrands, David Link, Tony Krcil, Danny Rezac, Mark Roberts, Linda Roberts, Rylie Roberts, John Crisman, Jim Bastemeyer and Rick Zolnowsky.
