The St. Michaels Fire Department has received recognition by the General Perry Benson Chapter, National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution for the proper use and display of the flag of the United States. During a brief ceremony on a beautiful Saturday morning in April, Regent Sue Brenchley presented a Certificate of Appreciation to St. Michaels Fire Department representatives. Pictured with Brenchley are Robert (Bob) Murray, a 60 year member of the St. Michaels Fire Department and Francis (Frank) Hopkinson, a direct descendant of a signatory of the Declaration of Independence.
The Flag of the United States of America Committee was designed to promote a strong patriotic feeling and respect for our flag in 1909. Its principle objectives then are still fundamental today: to keep the flag flying, to protect it continuously under all conditions, and to educate citizens regarding its correct usage.
