Released: November 10, 2020

Delaware County Councilwoman Christine Reuther was joined by Delaware County Marine Corps Veterans on Nov. 10 to raise the U.S. Marine Corps flag in honor of the founding of the Marines on November 10, 1775. It will fly from the flagpole in the courtyard of the Government Center and Courthouse complex throughout the week. Military flags are raised at appropriate times during the year in observance of the Army in June, the Coast Guard in August, the Air Force in September and the Navy in October.

Council commends and thanks all of those who have served or are serving, protecting our country.
