Residents were evacuated and a Red Cross evacuation center was set up at the high school in East Wenatchee across the Columbia River.
Happy Birthday U.S.A.! This weekend city streets and town squares across America were lined with the Stars and Stripes. The flag that is recognized around the globe as the symbol of the United States was flown with respect and appreciation by most Americans. The flag elicits a range of emotions from those who view it. With a sense of pride, I fly the flag from the front of my home. I don’t fly it with blind patriotism believing America has a spotless history, or that we make righteous decisions today. I fly it because our forefathers valued freedom and were willing to make the sacrifices to obtain it, while acknowledging freedom could not be of their own initiative and therefore they publicly voiced their faith and proclaimed, “In God We Trust.”
