Roosevelt City’s Independence Day celebration had a great turnout and among the memorable events was the raising of a beautiful American flag overlooking Roosevelt’s Memorial Park. The massive 30 by 60 foot flag was raised over 120 feet in the air on a new flagpole on the bluff overlooking the cemetery. The ceremony took place on the morning of July 4th and included a flag retirement ceremony as well as the veterans flag ceremony. A crowd attended, showing their respect for the flag and their pride as Americans. The flag ceremony was the perfect way to kick off the 2023 Roosevelt City Independence Day celebration which included a color run, family friendly games and activities, concerts, and of course a fantastic fireworks show.
