Celebrate our Flag

June 14 is Flag Day across the United States. Our flag has been
around since 1776, It represents the heart and soul of all Americans
both living and deceased. It is a symbol of our freedom and the dedication of our veterans and active service people.
Flag Day cannot be celebrated in one day, so we are expanding it into
an entire week. We will be honoring our flag with its history, holding a
discussion on “The Grand Ole’ Flag, making flag crafts and trivia. On
Tuesday, we will have our own flag ceremony complete with the folding
of the American flag and what each step resembles.
We all need to honor our flag because it resembles the freedom that
we all stand for. Watch our weekly article or check out our Facebook
page to find out our schedule for each activity.
