Weekend PatchTag Project: #Hashtag Patriotism In Your Patch

Post a patriotic photo from your Patch using the hashtag #PatchInauguration on Instagram.

We're starting something new here at Patch, borrowing an idea from social media networks. We're calling it the Weekend PatchTag Project. It's simple. Using your Instagram account, post a photo of patriotism in your community—you know, getting into the spirit of a presidential inauguration and Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Tag it with #PatchInauguration and it'll appear in our grid of images on every Patch site in Maryland. It's your chance to show off how patriotic your community is to the rest of the state. Now get to it! Oh, and while you're at it, what's your Instagram handle? Post it in a comment below, and let us know what Patch you live in, and we'll follow you!

"I'm personally very excited to march in the parade.” Hagelin is a New York native who commands the 24th Company, which the academy chose out of its 30 student companies to march in the parade. The school chose his company because it's the color company—meaning it's recognized by the academy for having superior academic, athletic and military professional performance. “As a company, we have practiced several times in order to prepare," Hagelin said…

Also in the crowd was Michelle Whitaker of Baltimore. “I’m excited to be here,” she said.
