PAGE A4, KEIZERTIMES, JUNE 28, 2019 KeizerCommunity KEIZERTIMES.COM Elks mark Flag Day Firework sales support McNary’s band program On Sunday, June 9, Keiz- er Elks Lodge #2472, held its annual commemoration Flag Day ceremony. The public cere- mony included a tribute to the birth and history of the Amer- ican fl ag, and retirement of ser- vice-worn fl ags. The ceremony was followed by the dedication of the Elks’ new fl agpole and fl ag. Flag Day is celebrated on June 14. It commemorates the adoption of the fl ag of the United States, on June 14, 1777, by resolution of the Second Continental Congress. The Benevolent and Protec- tive Order of Elks (BPOE) has celebrated the holiday since the early days of the organization. In 1907, the B.P.O.E. Grand Lodge designated, by resolution, June 14 as Flag Day, and man- dated observance of Flag Day by every Lodge in 1911. The Elks prompted Presi- dent Woodrow Wilson to rec- ognize the Order’s observance of Flag Day for its patriotic ex- pression. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that offi cially established June 14 as Flag Day, and in August 1946, National Flag Day was es- tablished by an Act of Congress. Flag Day is not an offi cial fed- eral holiday; however, it is at the president’s discretion to offi cial- ly proclaim its observance.
