Memorial Flag Raising Ceremony
On Monday, Sept. 12, at 11 a.m., the Town of Wake Forest and several local veterans’ organizations will continue their monthly flag-raising ceremonies in Town Hall’s Centennial Plaza, 301 S. Brooks St. The 43rd Wake Forest Memorial Flag-Raising Ceremony will honor Bruce Keith, Sr. who served our nation in the U.S. Marine Corps.
Members of Keith’s family have been invited to participate in the service, which will include patriotic songs, special remarks, a memorial wreath laying, and the ceremonial flag-raising by the Wake Forest Fire Department Honor Guard.
In honor of Keith and his service to our country, both the American flag and the U.S. Marine Corps service flag, in recognition of the military branch in which he served, will fly in Centennial Plaza throughout September. Photographs and other remembrances will also be displayed in Centennial Plaza during the ceremony, then in the Town Hall lobby through the end of the month.
