Honoring the Stars and Stripes

Celebrating Flag Day with Pride
Flag Day holds special significance for the Derby Elks, as it is a tradition we have proudly upheld since 1907. Every year, on June 14th, we gather to observe this important day, honoring the American flag and all that it represents. The Elks were instrumental in establishing Flag Day as a national observance, and it has since been adopted by Congress as an official day of recognition.

A Day to Reflect on Our Patriotism
Flag Day is more than just a ceremony—it’s a powerful reminder of our commitment to the values of freedom, unity, and pride that our flag symbolizes. On this day, we honor all those who have served our country and the ideals that make our nation great. It’s a time for reflection, a moment to come together as a community, and an opportunity to teach future generations the importance of honoring the flag and what it stands for.

We encourage everyone to join us in this celebration of patriotism, as we raise the flag and reflect on the sacrifices made to uphold the freedoms we enjoy today. Together, we can keep this tradition alive for years to come.
