It's Flag Day (for U.S.)

​

History of Flag Day

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 first original "Betsy Ross" flag.

The Betsy Ross flag is an early design of the flag of the United States, popularly—but very likely incorrectly—attributed to Betsy Ross, using the common motifs of alternating red-and-white striped field with five-pointed stars in a blue canton. The flag was designed during the American Revolution and features 13 stars to represent the original 13 colonies. The distinctive feature of the Ross flag is the arrangement of the stars in a circle.

The Old Glory flag

Old Glory is a common nickname for the flag of the United States, bestowed by William Driver, an early nineteenth-century American sea captain.

However, it also refers specifically to the flag owned by Driver, which has become one of the U.S.'s most treasured historical artifacts

During these joyous times in all our holidays
let us not forget those who defend and protect,
who fight to keep us safe in so many ways.
Take a moment, take some time, to honor and reflect
on the brave men and women whose lives were paid.

​

​

​

In this coming new year, may we all resolve
to live with passion and with courage,
with conviction like the strong,
to even work through pain,
and never let the sacrifice of our fallen be in vain.

Nothing like a guy in a military uniform. I usually see a few a week in my vocation and they are cute young guys.
