American Samoa Flag Day 2015

Check out some of the highlights from last weekend's Flag Day in American Samoa!

Each April 17, the people of American Samoa celebrate the day the first United States flag was raised above their territory in 1900. Homes and offices proudly fly both the Stars and Stripes and American Samoa’s own flag during this lively two-day celebration filled with feasts, parades, cricket matches, and traditional fautasi longboat races.

Here's some of the highlights from the boys of the Technical School of Don Bosco who were invited to perform and compete in this year's festivities.
