The City of Johns Creek is encouraging residents and business owners to show their patriotism by displaying an American flag starting on Flag Day, June 14 and continuing through the Fourth of July.
The initiative, dubbed "Flags Over Johns Creek," is designed to encourage patriotism, inspire citizens to think about the meaning of the American flag, and serve as a symbol of support for troops abroad, said Council Member Liz Hausmann, who suggested the program.
"I don’t think we can do enough as individuals or as a community to encourage knowledge of and respect for this symbol of freedom and democracy," Hausmann said. "Likewise, we can never do enough to express our appreciation for the men and women serving in our armed forces. I think it would be an awe-inspiring sight to see a flag flying at every home and business in Johns Creek."
City officials are planning a formal announcement ceremony for the initiative on
Thursday, May 15 at 4:30 pm at City Hall. More details and additional activities will be described at that time.
