Rep. Sutton Issues Statement Honoring National Flag Day | Politics

Today, on the 234th anniversary of the United States adopting a national flag, Congresswoman Betty Sutton (OH-13) released the following statement on the celebration of Flag Day:

“From our first responders at home to our men and women serving abroad, our flag is seen as a symbol of freedom and serves as a reminder of all those who have given their lives to protect it and all it stands for. On this Flag Day it is not only important to reflect on the conflicts, foreign and domestic, through which our flag has endured, but the progress and advancements made by those who pledge allegiance to it every day.

As we fight every day to put Ohioans back to work and create a better future for our children, I will continue to work to uphold the highest ideals of the flag and support all who serve to protect it. ”
