Once again, as in past years, the parade included a moving ceremony of a large historical “National Flag” that was unfurled near the flagpole at the top of Church Hill Road and then hand-carried along the parade route by numerous volunteers. The flag spanned across the road, 45-by-90-feet in size, and weighs 300 pounds, said the parade committee president Beth Caldwell.<br />

Marc Valentine of Halifax, Massachusetts, director of The National Flag Truck program, transports the historical flag across the country. This is one of over 20 90-footers, that appears at “Official Affairs of State” and full “Honor” ceremonies, economic summits, and National Re-Dedications. The flag is from the largest collection of giant flags in the world. It is transported aboard the National Flag Truck which was donated by International Truck and Engine and assembled by volunteers at the Springfield, Ohio plant.
