The local history group that honors and documents Revolutionary War Minute Men connected to Culpeper also celebrated Flag Day a bit early Saturday in Culpeper. The outdoor gathering took place at the spot in Yowell Meadow Park where those early freedom fighters, living in an established colonial town, mustered in 1775 to march off, with arms to fight British invaders.
Flag Day is celebrated annually on June 14 to commemorate the adoption by the Second Continental Congress of the stars and stripes as the official U.S. flag on that day in 1777.
