Double Oak - Friday Update (06/13/2025)
Honoring Flag Day Saturday June 14 and U.S. Army 250th Birthday
This Saturday marks Flag Day, a time for our community and our nation to reflect on the enduring symbol of freedom, unity, and sacrifice — the American flag. First adopted on June 14, 1777, our flag has flown through battles, celebrations, and historic milestones, reminding us of the values that bind us together: liberty, justice, and resilience. In Double Oak, we proudly fly the Stars and Stripes over Town Hall and throughout our neighborhoods, honoring all who have defended and upheld the ideals it represents. Let us take a moment to appreciate the privilege of living in a free nation and the responsibilities that come with it.
This Saturday also marks a historic milestone — the 250th birthday of the United States Army, founded on June 14, 1775. For two and a half centuries, the Army has stood as a symbol of strength, sacrifice, and unwavering service to our nation. From the Revolutionary War to today’s global missions, the men and women of the U.S. Army have defended our freedoms and upheld the values that define America. As we recognize this extraordinary anniversary, the Town of Double Oak offers its gratitude to all who have served and continue to serve. We salute your dedication and honor your legacy.
Celebrate Father’s Day This Sunday, June 15
This Sunday is Father’s Day, a chance to say thank you to the dads, granddads, and father figures who shape our lives with their steady hands, quiet strength, and good advice — even when we didn’t ask for it! In Double Oak, family is at the heart of our town, and this day is a reminder of how important fathers are in building strong homes and strong communities. Whether you’re firing up the grill, spending time with family, or just enjoying a little peace and quiet, we hope all the dads out there feel appreciated and celebrated. Happy Father’s Day!
