Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer and the County’s Chief of Human Services and Community Support, Sandra Garrison, were honored to join U.S. Coast Guard Veteran George Noblit and several uniformed members of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, including Andrew Crowley, Celia Crowley, Mark Cofone, and Allaire Corbett Moran, in raising the U.S. Coast Guard flag on Friday, August 4 outside of the Delaware County Courthouse.
The flag raising was held in honor of the founding of the Coast Guard on August 4, 1790.
The U.S. Coast Guard flag will fly from the flagpole in the courtyard of the Government Center and Courthouse complex throughout the week.
Military flags will be raised at appropriate times later this year in observance of the Air Force, on Sep. 18, 1947; the Navy, on Oct. 13, 1775; and the Marine Corps, on Nov. 10, 1775. The Army flag was raised in June to commemorate the anniversary.
Council expresses deep gratitude to those who have served or are serving in the military protecting and defending our country.
