Flag Day on the USS Midway
The Linares Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the USS Midway invite the public to an early Flag Day celebration aboard the USS Midway. In addition to the USS Midway Museum, the chapter is joined in hosting the seventh annual event with the Sons of the American Revolution and the Children of the American Revolution. The event will include patriotic music, flag presentations, and speakers from the DAR, SAR, C.A.R. and the Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge Chapter of San Diego. A musket salute by SAR San Diego Chapter members, dressed in period attire, and a musical demonstration by The Mountain Fifes and Drums of Lake Arrowhead will provide a taste of Revolutionary War times. An SAR Honor Guard and Grossmont High School NJROTC Color Guard of El Cajon will present the colors. Boy Scouts from the San Diego Imperial Council will collect old and worn American flags for proper disposal. Admission is free to those wearing red, white, and blue.
