American Tribute

Join us every day at noon when the American flag will be raised on the main flagpole outside the Cantey Building near the South Gate and the National Anthem will be played across the PA system.  Occasionally, there will be a special guest who will sing or raise the flag. Guests are invited to pause in a moment of unity and reverence – bringing our fair community together with this heartfelt tribute.
