Community gathers at college to honor 'Old Glory'

A community celebration honoring Flag Day brought many to Penn College's campus Friday evening. Formally known as the Anthony DiSalvo Flags Across America tribute, the ceremony began at the base of the large American flag at the college's entrance, but due to unsettled weather, the gathering moved to the Field House. The shift did not dim enthusiasm, as participants eagerly engaged in the annual honoring of "Old Glory." Among those on hand were representatives of the Susquehanna Council of Boy Scouts of America, the Repasz Band, veterans, local elected officials and flag fans of all stripes.
