Throughout our Flags for Heroes campaign, we've had the privilege of learning about the incredible veterans who have served our country with courage and dedication. These stories, filled with sacrifice and resilience, serve as a powerful reminder of the true meaning of patriotism.


We’re honored to share the story of Dan Linas, a dedicated Marine veteran whose extraordinary service and unwavering commitment to both his country and community have left an indelible mark. 


Story submitted by Brendan McDermott: "I’ve known Dan for 15 years and I’m nominating him in recognition of his extraordinary service and unwavering commitment to our community and country. Having served 5 years in the Marines with a combat deployment to Afghanistan. Dan demonstrated remarkable courage and leadership. Beyond his military achievements, Dan has dedicated countless hours to supporting fellow veterans through The Citadel and the Charleston community. His selflessness and dedication inspire those around him, making a profound impact on our community."


Thank you, Dan, for your honorable service, sacrifice, and dedication.
