Tomorrow, June 14th, is Flag Day...
Flag Day, is a day for all Americans to celebrate and show respect for our flag, its designers and makers. Our flag is representative of our independence and our unity as a nation.....one nation, under God, indivisible. Our flag has a proud and glorious history. It was at the lead of every battle fought by Americans. Many people have died protecting it. It even stands proudly on the surface of the moon.
For an overview of the history of the American flag, the Pledge of Allegiance (in five different languages!), "The Star-Spangled Banner," and other topics relevant to Flag Day, visit The Flag of the United States. Also included in this Web site are pictures of several flags, including all 50 state flags and a collection of patriotic poetry, essays, and other writings.
Some Flag Day activities can be found at:
National Flag Day Foundation, Inc.
Annie's "Flag Day" Page
Flag Day Coloring Pages
It is also the National Pause for the Pledge of Alliegance Day. The American Flag Foundation, Inc encourages all Americans to “pause for the pledge” at 7:00 p.m. on Flag Day. Their website includes information on the program and a collection of educational resources including flag Q&A, flag etiquette and retiring, and information on the Pledge.
As Americans, we have every right to be proud of our culture, our nation, and our flag. So raise the flag tomorrow and every day with pride!
