Delaware County Councilwoman Christine Reuther was joined by Delaware County Navy Veterans on Oct. 13 to raise the U.S. Navy flag in honor of the founding of the Navy on October 13, 1775. It will fly from the flagpole in the courtyard of the Government Center and Courthouse complex throughout the week. Military flags are raised at appropriate times during the year in observance of the Air Force in September, the Coast Guard in August and the Marine Corps in November.

Cooper is a Nether Providence Township Commissioner and Mr. Yannuzzi is the Vice President of Eddystone Borough Council.

Council commends and thanks all of those who have served or are serving, protecting our country.
