Recognizing Flag Day In Glasgow

Milk River Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) members Leila Seyfert, Joy Linn and Melissa Ancell celebrated Flag Day in Glasgow, June 14. They presented certificates to area businesses that were flying their flags and the certificates were for proper display and use of the American Flag.

The DAR promotes and encourages a strong patriotic feeling and respect for The Flag of the United States of America. The principal objectives are to:

Keep the Flag flying

Protect the Flag under all conditions

Ensure its correct use and display

Educate children and adults about the authorized rules of the Flag Code adopted by the United States Congress.

The DAR publishes a leaflet about the U.S. Flag Code which can be distributed to institutions, businesses and individuals. DAR Flag materials can be useful when students are studying the history and importance of the U.S. Flag.

DAR members present American Flags to new citizens at naturalization ceremonies, schools, youth organizations, historical sites, museums, veterans' homes, and hospitals. Braille Flags are also given to schools and institutions for the blind.

Milk River would like to thank all the businesses that participated in Flag Day 2023.
