June 14 – Flag Day

Did you fly your flag today?  Even without my reminding you?  Good!

Flag Day celebrates the date of the first resolution passing the Continental Congress designating Stars and Stripes as the flag of the soon-to-be U.S., on June 14, 1777.

• Dates to fly the flag (every day is okay; at night is okay, too, if you light the flag)
• Rick Monday saved the American flag
