As the Stars and Stripes flew all over Marshalltown on Sunday in recognition of the Flag Day holiday, it was only fitting that a special ceremony was held inside the Malloy Leisure Resource Center at the Iowa Veterans Home for those who understand its continued importance better than anyone else.

The Marshalltown Elks Lodge #312 led the well-attended event with Esteemed Leading Knight Clayton Bramon serving as the emcee and the Sweet Adelines providing patriotic music, including the songs for each branch of the military. Cheryl Jost-Kelley shared some history of flags in the U.S. dating back to the colonial era and, of course, the designing of the first American flag credited to Betsy Ross with 13 stars and 13 stripes that first flew in battle on Aug. 3, 1777 at Fort Stanwix, N.Y. (also known as Fort Schuyler) during the Revolutionary War. After the U.S. victory, more stars were added as more states were admitted into the union (today, there are 50), and during the War of 1812, the flag inspired Francis Scott Key to pen “The Star-Spangled Banner,” now the country’s national anthem.
