Rotary Club of Ipswich-Rowley's Flag Day Ceremony
Surrounded by a beautiful display of 100 American flags, community members gathered to reflect on the meaning of Flag Day and the values represented by our nation’s flag — service, sacrifice, unity, and freedom.
I was honored to join guest speaker Larry Jordan, veterans from VFW Post 1093 and @american_legion_post_80 led by Commander Jim Graffum, Rotary leaders, local officials, and community members for this meaningful celebration.
Many thanks to Ann Witzig and the Ipswich-Rowley Rotary Club for organizing this wonderful tradition, and to Rotary District 7930 President Pooja Singla, Rotary International Representative Joan Arsenault, Ipswich Select Board members, and Ipswich-Rowley Rotary Presidents George Gray and Doug Shealy, along with President-Elect Susanne Pedersen, for their leadership and participation.
A special thank you to talented bagpiper Jay Stanbury for helping set the tone for this memorable ceremony.
Our flag represents the ideals we stand for and the sacrifices made by generations of Americans who have protected those freedoms.
Ceremonies like this remind us of the importance of honoring that legacy and coming together as a community to recognize the values and service that our flag represents.
