Highground to celebrate Flag Day

The Highground will celebrate Flag Day Saturday, June 11, at 9:30 a.m. in conjunction with a Korean Stone Ceremony.

Local Boy Scout troops will carry in approximately 50 Native American flags to be displayed on the plaza. 

The public is invited to attend the ceremony and is encouraged to help place flags.  Volunteers are needed.

No better symbol of the country’s values and traditions exists than the United States of America’s flag. The flag’s proud stars and stripes have long inspired U. S. citizens; the flag’s beautiful red, white and blue design is known throughout the world as a beacon of liberty and justice.

The flag’s 13 red and white stripes represent not only the original colonies but also the courage and purity of the nation, while its 50 stars stand for the separate, but united, states of the union.

Pledge allegiance to this flag to declare patriotism and raise its colors high to express pride and respect for the American way of life.

“The Highground is a place for all of us.”
