Flag Day photo at the State Capitol

A simple social media post on Thursday, brought dozens to the south staircase of the South Dakota State Capitol Friday to celebrate Flag Day with a simple, single photo of the American Flag.  Hughes County Sheriff Patrick Callahan applied for and was granted a permit to hold the gathering…

 

Callahan was impressed by the turn-out on a cloudy, breezy day with rain looming in Pierre.

Many brought their own flags while others held the corners on a large American Flag pulled out in the center of the picture.
