A field of red, white and blue celebrated Flag Day in an Irvine park on Wednesday, June 14.
Fifth District Supervisor arranged the display of the 248 American flags in William R. Mason Regional Park – the number was a nod to the 248th birthday of the U.S. Army, which was also Wednesday.
Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the stars and stripes flag in 1777, though the original 13 stars have since grown to 50.
