Fly the flag on June 14, Flag Day
This is the day to give "Old Glory" its due.
There are many ways to honor the American Flag. Sometimes it's there for all to see on the lapel of a jacket, flying boldly in the front yard of a home, or being saluted as it blows in the wind from the flag pole of a building.
The most important part of Flag Day could be the moment or two when we pause to remember those in history who fought so it could fly and those who are still fighting to keep it flying today. As always:
We pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation under God, with liberty and justice for all.
