This morning, April 17, a small group of people will gather at the Fagatogo Malae to commemorate the first time the U.S. Flag was raised over American Samoa — 120 years ago. Attending today’s much scaled-back ceremony are Gov. Lolo Matalasi Moliga, CJ Michael Kruse, Senate Pres. Gaoteote Palaie Tofau, House Speaker Savali Talavou Ale and USDOI field representative Lydia Faleafine-Nomura. HAPPY FLAG DAY American Samoa — Stay Safe from Coronavirus — six feet apart.
