The Bay City Elks Lodge paid its respect to Flag Day, with a formal ceremony in Veterans Memorial Park, along the river in Bay City, MI, on Saturday, June 14, 2014 at 5pm.

Dignitaries, veterans and guests came to honor the observance of Flag Day and an ice cream social was held immediately after in the Walleye For Warriors tent, also located in the Veterans Park.

Walleye For Warriors offers approximately 240 Veterans an opportunity to get out on the bay fishing and goes June 14th and 15th, 2014.
