The Shelton Elks celebrated
Flag Day on June 14. The club
No. 2467 is located at 741 Craig
Rd. There were eight flags dis-
played representing our nation's
history. Each flag was presented
by flag bearers form the Webelos,
Cubs Scouts, Boy Scouts and the
new Venture crew of Troup 110.
Scout Master Matt Taylor Coordi-
nated the flag order.
The Elks celebrate our na-
tion's Flag every June 14 as part
of their charter. Exalted Ruler
Mark Jaros presided and asked
each officer station what was
the significance of the American
Flag, the Crowning Virtue, Char-
ity, Justice for all, Brotherly Love
and Fidelity. The chaplain led in
prayer.
There were eight flags as our
Nation evolved.
From 1620 to 1775, the flag of
England represented the peoples
of America. The first flag adopted
was the Pine Flag in 1775 by the
Colonial vessels and was the ban-
ner carried by colonial forces in

Vermont and Kentucky. The fifth
flag was the "Star Spangled Ban-
ner." Under this banner, the war
of 1812 was fought. On Septem-
ber 14, 1814 Francis Scott Key
was inspired to write our national
anthem, "The Star Spangled Ban-
ner."
The congress adopted a resolu-
tion that on and after July 4, 1818
the number of stripes should be
thirteen and the blue field should
carry a star for each of the twenty
states. A new star was to be add-
ed for each state admitted. This
was the sixth flag.
Since 1818 there has been no
change in the flag design except
that twenty-eight new stars were
added before July 4, 1912, and
this, the seventh flag, of forty-
eight stars flew over this nation
for forty-seven years.
The eighth flag was presented
on July 4, 1959 with a star was
added for Alaska, and a year
later, Hawaii, added the fiftieth
star. Our present flag has fifty
stars and thirteen stripes.
