As is custom, the Plant City Elks Lodge No. 1727 held its annual Flag Day Ritual on Thursday evening.
The ritual displayed every version of the U.S. flag, carried in by Eagle Scouts from Troop 5 and veterans Angel Gonzalez, Bob Johnson and Robby Bryant, and Leading Knight Judy Wise recounted the history behind each design.
It’s a tradition unique to the Elks, as no other fraternal body in the country requires a formal observance of the holiday.
