A Meaningful Tribute:
Flag Day 2025 at Cedarhurst This Flag Day, Cedarhurst communities in Wichita, Salina, and Topeka participated in a moving and patriotic celebration, thanks to a special partnership with Capitol Federal®. As part of their annual tradition, CapFed® presented U.S. Flags that had flown over the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. to local community organizations — and this year, Cedarhurst was honored to be among the recipients. Each Cedarhurst community hosted a ceremony where the flag was presented, accompanied by a framed certificate of authenticity. At each event, veteran residents were chosen to take part in the presentation, lending even more meaning to the occasion.
“As a veteran, I know firsthand the significance of celebrating the Flag of the United States,” said John Runnebaum, First Vice President and Commercial Lending Director for Capitol Federal. “To be able to present one which flew over the Nation’s Capital in D.C. to a group of veterans, family members, and friends at Cedarhurst of Topeka was a true honor for me.” He was joined by Vice President and Senior Commercial Lending Officer Mike Meyers, along with fellow CapFed leaders during the presentation. Gina Blankenship of Cedarhurst Senior Living added, “This partnership was the perfect opportunity for Cedarhurst to honor the veterans living within our walls. Having a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol and brought directly to our communities is incredibly special, and we’re so thankful to Capitol Federal for thinking of us.” These flags now fly proudly outside our communities — a lasting symbol of patriotism, respect, and gratitude.
