44 years ago today Dennis Wardlow and 3 others took a stand to create the Conch Republic to help Key West as it’s tourism was gone because of a road block. It’s took the whole community acting as one to make this island function again and the great place it is today. Thank you Dennis, Ed, David for what you did!
Happy Conch Republic Independence Day! P.s. the flag you see is the only flag of the Conch Republic and Key West created by Claude Valdez in 1969!
