About 100 people gathered in Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park on the evening of Friday, June 14, for a Flag Day Celebration presented by the Assembly #1447 and Council #5026 Knights of Columbus. Participants learned a brief history of the American Flag and were led in the Pledge of Allegiance by Rep. Shannon Erickson and the Scouts of America. The highlight was a patriotic sing-along led by Director Thomas M. Fierro and the adult choir of St. Peter Catholic Church featuring songs such as “The Star-Spangled Banner,” “Yankee Doodle,” “America, the Beautiful” and “You’re a Grand Old Flag.” Photos by Daniel Brownstein.
