What so proudly we hail: recalling the history of ‘Old Glory’ on its 243rd birthday

by Jun 15, 2020
Each year on Flag Day, the Suffolk Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, conducts ceremonies at Pulaski Street Elementary School to celebrate the flag. This year's celebration of the flag's 243rd birthday could not take place at the school, but DAR Suffolk Chapter Regent Ann Otten wrote this reflection on the cloth Americans revere as a symbol of liberty and justice.
