Today is Flag Day. The girls and I went to I-mans school today for a Flag Day Parade and BBQ. It was rainy outside so we didn't dine outdoors, but it was a pleasant afternoon. The kids all wore red, white, and blue. Some made signs of flags for the occasion. The band and chorus sang/played songs...all in all it was very patriotic :)
A really cool site to look at is www.usflag.org this site gives all sorts of facts about our US Flag. Examples are : Why is the Flag patch on U.S. Armed Forces Uniforms "backwards"? Or What do the colors and gold fringe on the flag mean? Also there is a place that tells you the proper way to dispose of , hang, fold a flag....lots of info. Very interesting I might add. I think that if the school would have looked at this site before they would not have let the kids make these pictures of flags...very neat site. You can also see when the President has ordered the flag to be hung half mast.
I hope you all have a pleasant Flag Day......we did.
