We are happy to share that more than 100 light pole banners are displayed throughout Westlake as part of our Saluting Our Service campaign to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary.
On Father’s Day this year, Retired U.S. Army veteran Clarence Bowersox celebrated with his four kids, their spouses and his ten grandchildren. They gathered to take this heartwarming photo under his banner at Clague Park. Thank you for sharing this moment with us and more so, thank you for your service!
If you or a loved one has a banner hung throughout the city, please snap a photo of you with the banner and share in the comments of this post!

Sunday, June 14, is Flag Day, marking the anniversary of the day the Stars and Stripes were officially adopted back in 1777.
It is a simple chance to show some pride. Fly the flag at your home, take a minute to talk with your kids about what it represents, or read up on a bit of its history. A few quick reminders if you are displaying yours: raise it briskly, lower it ceremoniously, light it if you fly it at night, and when a flag is worn out, please retire it properly rather than tossing it in the trash.
Ahead of Flag Day, you can drop off old, torn, or unused flags for proper disposal at Westlake City Hall, the Community Services Center, the American Legion Hall on Cahoon Road, or the drop-off boxes at your nearest VFW Hall.
This year the day carries a little extra weight as Westlake celebrates America's 250th anniversary. However you choose to mark it, thank you for helping show what community pride looks like across our city.
