THE National Bank employees were honored on November 12th with a flag ceremony for their generosity in donating over 30 care packages to the local Marine Mom's organization. These care packages will be delivered to members of the US Coast Guard currently serving off the coast of Afghanistan. During the flag ceremony members of the Coast Guard, Patriot Guard, and volunteers from the Marine Mom's organization presented THE National Bank with a U.S. flag that has flown over several combat missions in Afghanistan. That flag is now proudly flying over THE National Bank's Silvis office. "All of us at THE National Bank are proud of the brave men and women serving in the U.S. Military. This is just a small way we can bring some comfort to those protecting our freedom as they are away from their families during this holiday season," said John DeDoncker, President and CEO.

THE National Bank has been a proud supporter of the Marine Mom's organization for the past 8 years. The Marine Mom's organization is a group of volunteer men and women who generously devote their time throughout the year with different charitable organizations, particularly gathering and sending supplies to troops in all branches of the military who are serving overseas.

THE National Bank is a full service bank headquartered in Bettendorf, Iowa. Additional offices are located in Davenport, Iowa; Canton, Chadwick, Havana, East Moline, Elgin, Milan, Moline, Morrison, Mt. Carroll, Rapids City, Silvis, Savanna, and Sterling, Illinois; and Pewaukee, Wisconsin.
