On Saturday June 11th guests gathered near the Korean Tribute at The Highground for the Flag Day Celebration and Korean Stone ceremony.     Boy Scout Troop 43, Cub Scout Pack 43 and volunteers marched in behind flags presented by the Neillsville American Legion Post 73.   Thirty-two Native American Flags which were placed on the Plaza in honor of Flag Day.

 There is no better symbol of our country’s values and traditions than the Flag of the United States of America.    Our flag’s proud stars and stripes have long inspired our people and its beautiful red, white and blue design is known around the world as a beacon of liberty and justice.   Its 13 red and white stripes represent not only the original colonies, but also the courage and purity of our Nation, while its 50 stars stand for the separate but United States of our Union.   Let us pledge allegiance to this Flag to declare our patriotism and raise its colors high to express our pride and respect for the American way of life. 

A special thank you to Judy Morrow and David Bedell for organizing the Scouts who added that special touch to our celebration.
