• Flag Day Observance 2018

Wildomar's observance of Flag Day 2018 was at Marna O'Brien Park, on a rather warm June evening. There was the raising of a new set of flags, the singing of the National Anthem, a couple of prayers, a couple of speeches, and then a group picture. 

The new colors are seen waving in a strong breeze after Boy Scout Troop 332 raised them to the top of the pole.

What a great nation we live in and are privileged enough to call home.

A beautiful evening for a flag day ceremony.


As the flyer shows, it started with a welcome by Mayor Bridgette Moore, followed by a nice rendition our national anthem/ by sisters Jocelyn and Galilea Leon.

There were many onlookers as Mayor Pro-Tem Tim Walker discussed some of the lesser known aspects of our flag's history.

Wildomar Rap tip of the day: Instead of ending up a day late and a dollar short, think about making better plans from the get go and avoid having to explain your failures.
