Bloomfield, Missouri - Dr. Adam Criblez from Southeast Missouri State University - Cape Girardeau is going to present his book, Parading Patriotism on Monday, June 26 at 6:30 p.m. in the Stars and Stripes Museum's library.
This ground-breaking book draws on both unpublished sources (including diaries, manuscript collections, and journals) and copious but under-utilized print resources from the region (newspapers, periodicals, travelogues, and pamphlets) to uncover the roots of how the Fourth of July holiday is celebrated today.
Criblez’s insightful book shows how political independence and republican government was promoted through rituals and ceremonies that were forged in the wake of this historical moment.
This is a free event and the public is encouraged to attend.

Passport Applications Now Accepted
At Mississippi County Recorder of Deeds Office
The passport service is available for Mississippi County and surrounding areas
Charleston, Missouri - Mississippi County Recorder of Deeds, George Bays, announced today that beginning on June 26, his office will start accepting passport applications on behalf of the U.S. Department of State and will process passport photos onsite.
“I was eager to bring this service to our area, and happy to see our hard work pay off” said Bays. “Before our office was approved, people in Mississippi County and the surrounding communities would have to drive nearly an hour to get their passport photo taken.”
Bays worked with Congressman Jason Smith to become a passport accepting agency.
“The Recorder of Deeds Office in Mississippi County works on behalf of Missourians every day, and I am happy I was able to help them offer another very important service to Mississippi County and surrounding communities in southeast and south central Missouri,” said Congressman Smith.
State Representative Holly Rehder put Bays in touch with Congressman Smith’s office.
“I was very excited to support George's vision to be a help to the constituents of Mississippi County. I'm thrilled it has come to fruition so quickly,” Rehder stated.
“Congressman Smith’s office was instrumental in the process, and we could not have become an accepting agency without their help,” said Bays. “I am so glad Representative Rehder put us in touch with Congressman Smith.”
U.S. citizens planning international travel may apply for their passports Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 4:30pm in the Mississippi County Recorder of Deeds Office. The office is located at 200 North Main Street in Charleston, Missouri.
Application forms, information on documentation required, fees, and other passport and international travel information can be found on travel.state.gov. There is also a link to travel.state.gov on the Mississippi County website, www.misscomo.net.

USA - Wednesday, June 14, 2017 is Flag Day in the United States. Local boy scouts took time this evening to put out flags in Dexter.
Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened on June 14, 1777, by resolution of the Second Continental Congress. The United States Army also celebrates the U.S. Army Birthdays on this date.
Congress adopted "the American continental army" after reaching a consensus position in the Committee of the Whole on June 14, 1775.
In 1916, the president of the United States issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day; in August 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress.
Flag Day is not an official federal holiday. Title 36 of the United States Code, Subtitle I, Part A, CHAPTER 1, § 110 is the official statute on Flag Day; however, it is at the president's discretion to officially proclaim the observance.
On June 14, 1937, Pennsylvania became the first U.S. state to celebrate Flag Day as a state holiday, beginning in the town of Rennerdale. New York Statutes designate the second Sunday in June as Flag Day, a state holiday.
