​'Our American Flag' On Display In Mamaroneck

MAMARONECK, NY — “Our American Flag” display is back, and it’s making its way to community centers all across Westchester County. The display consists of three flags: the Bennington flag, the Betsy Ross flag and the current American flag.

It also gives the history of our flags, providing viewers with information about the Flag Act of 1777 and procedures surrounding proper care.

Westchester County Executive George Latimer said, “We are excited to bring the display across the County and make it accessible to our residents. It’s a simple way for us all to show our patriotism and reflect on what the flag means to us.”

It was created last November as a way to honor our veterans and our flags, with permanent displays at the Michaelian Office Building, the Westchester County Center and Lasdon Park.

Mamaroneck residents don’t have to travel far to see the display. It’s currently located at the Mamaroneck Public Library and will be there until Oct. 4. After that, the flags will move to the Town of Mamaroneck Senior Center, where they will be on display until Oct. 11.

If you are interested in seeing the display in your community, please contact the county executive’s office at 914-995-2918.
