Happy Flag Day

On this day, June 14, 1777 our flag was commemorated.  At the time it had less stars but through the years, after each state was declared, a star was added.  Woodrill Wilson, officially recognized June 14 as flag day but it was Harry Truman who made it official.
When I was a kid it meant more than it does now and I was reconnected to what it means when I was visiting a town in Alabama a few years ago that makes the flag.  They put a whole new meaning about it. They were so proud that they had that task at hand.
So sometime today just look up to the flag and remember that it is a symbol of our great country.  Remember the men and women who sacrificed and are still sacrificing for. Remember all that it represents and be proud to live in a country where you are free and can make choices, right or wrong and not be jailed for it.  We forget how lucky we are to live in a country where we vote on our leaders, make our own decisions and have a say so.  Happy Flag Day!
