The Hill Country Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution was recognized for its ongoing efforts to honor and support National Flag Day and Week by the Blanco County Commission, which proclaimed the week of June 19-15 as “National Flag Week” in Blanco County.

Flag Day is June 14, 2018, which marks more than 241 years of displaying the American flag since the Second Continental Congress adopted the American flag on June 14, 1777.

The proclamation by the County Commission noted that, “it is filling and proper to officially recognize ‘Old Glory’ as a symbol of hope, inspiration and pride for the people of the United States and around the world.”

“Citizens of Blanco County are asked to reaffirm the ideals of our Country by displaying our American flag at their homes and throughout the country,” according to the proclamation.”
