Active members of the U.S. Coast Guard and Coast Guard Veterans are invited to join County officials in the raising of the U.S. Coast Guard on August 4 at 12:30 p.m. in the Courtyard of the Government Center, located at 201 West Front Street in Media. Residents can enter from the Orange Street walkway.

The flag will be raised to commemorate the anniversary of the U.S. Coast Guard, which was established on August 4, 1790. It will fly from the flagpole in the courtyard of the Government Center and Courthouse complex throughout the week.

Throughout the year, the County raises flags in honor of all branches of the military and invites active military and Veterans to join in the flag raisings.

Council extends its gratitude to all of those who have served or are serving, protecting our country.
