Let's fly our flag proudly and remember - it does not have to be Flag Day
or other Holiday to wave Old Glory...put it up everyday and let's
remember what our Great Nation stands for!
HAPPY FLAG DAY AMERICA!!!

Flag Day (United States)
In the United States, Flag Day is celebrated on June 14. It commemorates the adoption
of the flag of the United States, which happened on that day in 1777 by resolution of
the Second Continental Congress.[1] The United States Army also celebrates the
Army Birthday on this date; Congress adopted "the American continental army" after
reaching a consensus position in the Committee of the Whole on June 14, 1775.[2][3]
In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established
June 14 as Flag Day; in August 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress.

Good morning Lisa. Our flag is very special to me and what it stands for and in this time in our history, even more.
This is not a day that many celebrate...but should !
Thanks Lisa. Fly it high and proud.
Happy Flag day to you also Lisa - got mine still ready to fly from Memorial day
Excellent reminder fly the flag every day not just holidays.
Happy Flag Day to you, as well Lisa. You, Dorie Dillard and I are all on the same wavelength having all posted about Flag Day today and from different perspectives.
Good morning Lisa. I fly the flag daily. It is important to me and I am proud to do it.
Happy Flag day to you too Lisa. We really need to show some American pride today.
Our flag is flying high today. I also have an American flag on the rear dashboard of my car.
Hi Lisa Von Domek thanks for the reminder. My flag is out today and flies with pride. While we are not perfect as a country, no country is and the good we do in the world is greater than many other nations combined.
I meant to write a post about Flag Day and time got away. Thanks for celebrating it online.
Lisa what a great post... on a side note next to me a neighbor is a teacher... across the street from me is a teacher... as an Airborne Ranger Infantry CPT from a previous life I am angry and annoyed... I put the flag out and the "teachers of future generations" did not... that is so sad...Endre
Good Morning Lisa - you are right. We should not need a holidy to fly our flag.
Lisa
And big happy Flag Day to you.
Good luck and success.
