Trinity Wesleyan Church in Remus is celebrating Flag Day Friday with a display of more than 60 flags.
Even though the church is a bit out of the way, driving past, there is no way you could miss it.
Around 65 flags flutter in a summer breeze on the front lawn.
Pastor Scott Touzel tells me this is a travelling display called the ‘healing field,’ a place where people can go and remember or pray for those who have given their lives for American freedom.
“They’re set up to honor our veterans, our servicemen, our public servants, somebody has lost a loved one is a war or a conflict they can come and we’ll pray with them. It’s just a time to celebrate our country and give thanks,” Touzel said.
Inside the church there are a few displays containing copies of historical documents and explanations of their significance to America, called the ‘Freedom Shrine.’
This country has been celebrating Flag Day since 1777, and Trinity Wesleyan is one place where the past and the present are being remembered and celebrated.
