HAPPY FLAG DAY!

Oznell — Tue, 14 Jun 2022 12:31:26 GMT

In the words of lyricist/ patriot George M. Cohan:

You're a grand old flag
You're a high-flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave
You're the emblem of
The land I love
The home of the free and the brave
Ev'ry heart beats true
Under red, white and blue
Where there's never a boast or brag
But should old acquaintance be forgot
Keep your eye on the grand old flag

Thank you for the reminder! It's raining now, but I'll put my flags out when it stops.

Today is my 47th wedding anniversary. My husband and I were married on flag day so I will never forget flag day.

@newname0 - Happy Anniversary to you. I worked as a civilian for the US Navy. My boss was a Commander who also celebrated his wedding anniversary on June 14, Flag Day. His reasoning to me was that he married on Flag Day so he would always remember his anniversary. A little reverse from your not forgetting Flag Day. He was a wonderful person and I think of him often, especially on Flag Day.

Once again, I'll be wearing the flag pin my dearest father gave me many decades ago.

Hooray for the Red, White and Blue , John P. Sousa

Bought my Grandson a musical book called Ditty Bird book that contains patriotic songs, Grand Old Flag, Hooray for the Red, White and Blue, Yankee Doodle, This Land Is your Land

I sing all the songs to him. He knows the lyrics of some of these songs .

Today we are singing Grand Old Flag and Hooray for the Red , White and Blue while waving our American Flags

This is what a bonehead I'm becoming in my old age - I kept thinking June 14, June 14, why does that date sound so familiar?

D'oh! Now I know.

It's only been about 20 years since I bought that thing you put on the side of your house to put up a flag. Maybe my husband will put it up soon. *rolleyes* No, I'm not holding my breath. Furthermore, I don't even know where it is at this point. heh

Johnny Cash sings a lovely song "the Ragged Old Flag". It is an old song but is still very Patriotic.

Today and everyday we should see more of our Flag, and the MIA Flag, to remind us to never forget , and of who we really are as a nation.

May the flag ever wave for freedom, justice and liberty. God Bless the USA
