Flag Day

The Beaufort Republican Women’s Club gathered on Flag Day, June 14, 2024, to commemorate the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the official flag of the United States. Though not a federal holiday, this day in June was chosen as a nationwide day of celebration. The guest speaker was American history author Randolph Russell, who spoke about the necessity for all Americans, young and old, to learn, know, and understand our American heritage. Russell treated the group to his solo sax rendition of America, and signed his books that were available to purchase. The Club enjoyed a picnic style supper at the Dataw Island Gazebo, 100 Marina Drive, St. Helena Island. For more information, please go to www.beaufortrepublicanwomensc.com. Submitted photo
