CRESTVIEW — The Crestview Exchange Club’s annual “Stand Up and Say the Pledge” ceremony will be noon Monday.
The public, 15-minute ceremony, held annually in front of the Okaloosa County Veterans Memorial behind the downtown courthouse, is an opportunity to pause and reflect on American values, Mayor David Cadle said.
“It just reminds us how often things we have taken for granted all our lives are under attack,” Cadle said.
The ceremony includes patriotic readings, history of the Pledge of Allegiance, and singing of “The Star-Spangled Banner."
It concludes with a group recitation of the pledge.
