Active members of the United States Coast Guard, Coast Guard Veterans, their families, and members of the community are invited to join County officials in the raising of the United States Coast Guard flag on Friday, August 2 at 12:30 p.m. in front of the Delaware County Courthouse located at 201 West Front Street in Media.

Throughout the year, the County raises flags in honor of all branches of the military and invites active military and Veterans to join in the flag raisings. Military flags are raised at appropriate times throughout the year in observance of the anniversaries of the United States Army on June 14, 1774; the Coast Guard on August 4, 1790; the Air Force on September 18, 1947; the Navy on October 13, 1775; and the Marine Corps on November 10, 1775.

Council extends its gratitude to all of those who have served or are serving, protecting our country.

We hope you can join us in honoring Coast Guard Veterans and active members of the Coast Guard on August 2!
