U.S. Rep. Collin Peterson made good on his promise Wednesday, as he made his way to Briarwood Apartments in Perham to deliver a special flag to one of its residents - a visibly happy World War II veteran, Duane Donley.
Peterson was able to fly that very flag over the U.S. Capitol on Donley's 95th birthday on Thursday, May 23. Less than a week later, Peterson hand-delivered the flag to Donley to keep, along with a plaque commemorating Donley's service fighting in the Battle of the Bulge and other World War II battles , and his longtime service to the Perham community through farming and volunteering.
