VICKSBURG, Miss. (VDN) — Take time to respect the flag and country this Thursday and join the crowd to watch a Flag-raising Ceremony at the Highway 80 Bridge in Vicksburg.
The Winter Flag-Raising event is scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 15, beginning at 11 a.m. The venue for the flag-raising will be the overlook at the Mississippi Welcome Center, 4210 Washington Street, next to the Highway 80 Bridge entrance. The flag flying on the bridge at that time will be lowered around 5 minutes before the hour of the flag ceremony.
Please plan to assemble at least 15 minutes before the hour of the ceremony. After the new flag has been
raised, the chairman of the Army-Navy Club of Vicksburg’s Flag Project will lead everyone in the “Pledge of Allegiance” to our beautiful flag. The pledge concludes the ceremony.
