Stars and Stripes
The Annual Flag Day celebration in the City of Romulus drew a large audience last week when the event took place at the pavilion at Historical Park. Members of the Romulus VFW Post 78 Color Guard helped raise the American flag and short tributes included remarks from Mayor Robert McCraight. The city annually hosts the event which was established as a national holiday in 1916 by a proclamation from President Woodrow Wilson. Congress officially established June 14 as a federal holiday in 1946.
