Wheeling receives Flag Commendation
Sons of the American Revolution recognizes individuals, organizations, businesses and government agencies that routinely follow the U.S. Flag Code, which outlines the customs and rules governing the display and use of the flag of the United States.
The SAR established the Flag Commendation program in 1987 and encouraged each chapter to recognize at least one entity each year.
The City of Wheeling, W.Va., was selected by the Fort Henry Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution to receive the award for its highly visible display of the flag at Heritage Port, consistent with the U.S. Flag Code.
Previous awardees include Oglebay, Elmhurst and Perkins Restaurant and Bakery.
