Cecil Paris “The flag reminds me of when I served our country and was part of the effort which resulted in victory for our country. It is a reminder to me that even today, we need to continue our fight for peace, justice and liberty for all of our citizens.”

This week’s question:

What does Flag Day mean to you?

Anthony Giglio “As a veteran, I am always proud to salute our flag. I am especially proud to view parades and observe our children salute and respect our flag as it passes by.”

John Dunform “Old Glory! What a wonderful symbol representing the freedom, liberty and justice fought for by great heroic Americans. It is a never ending battle. We need to continue the fight to respect and honor the lives of all people.”

Vincent Cuttitta “For over 200 years we have honored our flag from its original 13 stars and stripes to its configuration representing each of our 50 states. We must stand up for our flag and never allow it to be desecrated as it represents our heritage.”

Sullivan Johnson, Jr. “I enjoy taking care of the flag at our V.F.W. Post. It is an honor to raise it and take down and replace it when it becomes frayed. It brings back memories of dear and wonderful people.”

Ed Wierzel “The flag is a symbol of our democracy, beginning with our constitution, giving us a government of the people, by the people and for the people. It may not be perfect but it’s the best there is in the world today.”
