*The event has already taken place on this date: Mon, 04/03/2023
The Town of Wake Forest and several partnering veterans’ organizations will resume their monthly flag-raising ceremonies in Town Hall’s Centennial Plaza on Monday, April 3, at 11 am. The 45th Wake Forest Memorial Flag-Raising Ceremony will honor Al Hinton, who served his nation in the US Navy during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Members of Hinton’s family have been invited to participate in the ceremony, which will include patriotic songs, special remarks, a memorial wreath laying and the ceremonial flag-raising. After raising the American flag, the Wake Forest Fire Department Honor Guard will raise the U.S. Navy service flag in recognition of the military branch in which Hinton served. Both flags will fly in Centennial Plaza throughout April.
