Tribute to Old Glory in Scranton

June 14 is Flag Day.

SCRANTON, Pa. — Before the rain rolled in on Monday afternoon, a tribute to Old Glory was held in Scranton.

The 9/11 Memorial Committee held a ceremony on Courthouse Square to mark Flag Day.

On this day in 1777, the Second Continental Congress adopted a flag with alternating red and white stripes and white stars on a blue background.

The group in Scranton recognized that the U.S. Army was also founded on this day, 246 years ago in 1775.
