The Elks Lodge in Jefferson City celebrated Flag Day on Saturday in honor of those who have served in our nation's wars.

They held a flag ceremony with several veterans on-hand to witness the addition of a new flag to the lodge, as well as a patriotic address by a Vietnam veteran.

Although flag day is actually next Thursday, the lodge said Saturday was the best time to get everyone together for the ceremony.
