Today, June 14th, we celebrate National Flag Day, a day dedicated to honoring the enduring symbol of our nation – the Stars and Stripes.
The American flag represents the ideals of liberty, justice, and equality that our country was founded upon. Each star and stripe tells a story of unity, sacrifice, and the pursuit of a more perfect union.
Let's take a moment today to reflect on the meaning of our flag and the freedoms it represents. Whether you display a flag, learn about its history, or simply appreciate its significance, let's show our respect for this powerful emblem of American pride.
Please note that our offices will be closed next week on Thursday, June 19, 2025 in observance of Juneteenth.
