Happy Flag Day! 🇺🇸
Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777. This took place less than 10 miles from Deptford, at Independence Hall (which was at the time the Pennsylvania State House) in Philadelphia.
The flag’s design has changed over the past 249 years with the additions of 37 new states, but the original motif of 13 alternating red and white stripes, with white stars in a blue field, remains.
Deptford Township proudly flies the U.S. flag at our municipal properties. We encourage residents to be familiar with the flag code and enjoy displaying this symbol of our nation with the dignity it deserves! 🇺🇸
