An American flag that once flew over the United States Capitol has been carried by thousands of veterans through 15 states as part of the relay to the World Games.
This morning, Mobile officials, including Mayor Sandy Stimpson, will host a celebration in Mardi Gras Park in honor of the upcoming World Games in Birmingham.
The flag arrived in Mobile last night and will be headed to Pensacola next, before ultimately arriving in Birmingham for the opening ceremony of the World Games.
