A historic U.S. Flag is on a journey of remembrance, reverence, and pride as it travels to every U.S. cemetery overseas, U.S. territory, and U.S. state. This special U.S flag arrives in Plymouth, Massachusetts at 3:00 pm on Sunday, June 14th and will be raised on the Mayflower II thanks to our host Plimoth Patuxet.

Flag Sojourn 250 is a project of national unity from the National Flag Foundation and America250’s America Waves program- an epic tribute campaign to our American Flag. This visit wouldn’t be possible without the National Sheriffs' Association, American Battle Monuments Commission and program partner UPS.

ADS John Hickey and Correction Officer Eric Johnson presented Sheriff McDonald with the Championship Banner! (John and Eric also serve as coach and captain for the team.)

Over the weekend, the Plymouth County Sheriff’s Office hockey team competed in the 8th Annual BFit Heroes Cup and captured the Division C-1 Championship.

The tournament brought together 90 first responder teams from 22 states for a weekend of hockey, camaraderie, and community. The event was hosted by Wellpoint and the Boston Bruins Foundation.

Our team represents the highest standards of professionalism, both on and off the ice. Their skill, teamwork, and sportsmanship reflect the same dedication they bring to their roles as Correctional Officers each day.

Congratulations on bringing another championship home to PCSO!
