Yeah, I know. So has everyone else. LOL! So this isn't a complaint.

Do you know why today is Flag Day?
On this day, June 14, 1777, the “Stars and Stripes”, the official National symbol of the United States of America was authorized by the Continental Congress. As recorded in their journal for that date, the item read: “Resolved that the flag of the thirteen United States be Thirteen stripes alternate red and white: that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.


And now you know.

Nope. I ignored it, too.
Americans generally ignore any "holliday" that does not involve a Monday off, beer, and BarBQue.
Obama's flag day is May 1st.

My flags were flying today!

I even got a peek at the new flag Obama wants, the one with the sickle and hammers instead of stars.
Mooch's husband is not allowed to fly a American flag...
