A commemorative traveling flag will make a stop in Barnstable County this month to mark the nation's 250th birthday.
Flag Sojourn 250 is part of a initiative to bring the flag to every state, territory and military cemetery and it will be raised at the National Cemetery in Bourne on Flag Day.
Barnstable County Sheriff Donna Buckley and special guests will be taking part in the June 14th ceremony beginning at 1 p.m.
The flag's journey will conclude in Washington DC on July 4th, where it will be formally presented to the America 250th Committee.
