“And I’m proud to be an American...”
No truer words were spoken during Clay Center’s Constitutional March on Saturday, July 4.
About 100 people arrived donning red, white and blue clothing, hoisting flags high up in the air, and loudly and proudly singing those words in “God Bless the U.S.A,” so many are familiar with.
When the march first began it looked as if it was simply a few legionnaire members and some golf carts following behind.
But what started out with few then became many, and suddenly there were several cars and then a semi with a large flag flying behind it, leading a line of semis and a Clay Center fire truck.
Flags could be seen everywhere—attached to vehicles, people holding them, stitched onto shirts and shorts and hats—blotting the lawn and street in front of the courthouse in those three colors.
