The event included various students reading original essays on patriotism, guest speaker U.S. Navy electronics technician chief Thomas Jackson and the singing of a variety of patriotic music.
Flag Day commemorates the date in 1777 when the Continental Congress adopted Stars and Stripes as the national flag.
