🇺🇸 THANK YOU, SPONSORS! 🇺🇸
It has been a month since our Flag Day Celebration.. and we are still floating on air! Seeing our community come together to honor Old Glory was truly unforgettable—but none of it would have been possible without the incredible generosity of our sponsors.
Because of their support, we were able to bring our community together, honor our nation's history, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
Please join us in thanking the amazing businesses and organizations that invested in our community this year:
Big Joe's Gas & Convenience, Port Washington State Bank, Property Loss Management, Family Fry Farms, Tesker Manufacturing Corporation, Bublitz Plumbing and Heating Inc., Cedarburg Lions Club (Cedarburg, WI), Ozaukee County,

A huge shoutout also goes to our tireless volunteers, vendors, and everyone who came out to celebrate with us. We are so proud of our community and deeply grateful for the partnerships that keep our traditions flying high. ❤️🤍💙

WE ARE SO inspired by this year's young writers... We received so many entries from across the United States offering us an opportunity to see the Red, White & Blue with a fresh perspective filled with hope. Follow the link to our website to enjoy this beautiful tradition of the National Flag Day Foundation. Many thanks to all the contestants, their families, and our Essay Team!!! Job well done!

On June 14, 1885, Bernard J. Cigrand, a 19-year-old teacher at Stony Hill School placed a 10-inch, 38 star flag on his desk.  He asked his students to write an essay in reflection of what this flag meant to them.  The National Flag Day Foundation aims to keep this patriotic tradition alive.
