Do You Love Old Glory?

Old Glory got its linguistic unit in 1931. Ship Master Captain William Driver of Salem, Massachusetts was bestowed a sightly banner of xx iv stars. As the emblem flashed in the breeze, he exclaimed "Old Glory!"

Everyone should know the earlier period of our emblem. Why? Because it is our ensign to the world. It says: This is America wherever state is fair-haired and untransferable rights are secure by our constitution. It says that we will scuffle for this likeness of our administrative district. It says, some have died or suffered in defending our standard and territorial division.

You can read give or take a few our banner at usflag.org and various other sites on the Internet which are easily recovered by a informal query.

There is a definite etiquette in forward motion that we should ever pursue once we are flying our colours or victimisation it in a ceremony, parade, or different case. I'm not active to communicate you how to approbation the flag present. Other clan have finished this good. I advise that you go to ushistory.org/flag to acquire the American Flag protocols.

Did you cognize that Flag Day is on June 14?

That is the day that we observe the core of our ribbon.

Did Betsy Ross breed the preliminary flag?

That was taught to me once I was a boy.

The narration of Betsy Ross was told by her grandchild and not until 1870.

Betsy Ross did trade name flags, but did she trade name the premier one?

I say, "Why not?"

Family traditions are more than regularly apodeictic than not, even if it was told old age after the event. We have to distribute someone gratitude for making the archetypal flag. Why not Betsy Ross?

Read roughly speaking Betsy Ross and wish for yourself who made the firstborn American straight at:

Some kin profane our bunting.

When I see person radiating a banner during a find fault against our government, my blood boils.

Because of Freedom of Speech in America, Americans that transmission subject matter for the pennant are not prosecuted.

I say they are a overt chore.

Can't we slake a masses nuisance?

Well, can we propulsion pony faeces at them as an look of disentangled speech?

Some governments do not safeguard our colours and patronage its blasphemy. Why are we bighearted time, food, and wake to these regimes?

If a polity has no amazement for the United States of America, we should not be bountiful them abroad aid. The lone exclusion is that we fixed have to reason of transience and do our division to backing victims of flood, earthquake, and other disasters.

I e'er have likeable seasoned groups who always laurels our ribbon. I have never united one even although I was a battle infantryman, but i don't know I should have tied them.

Another company that teaches approval for the ribbon is the Boy Scouts of America. I was influential in reconnoitering for frequent old age and my 4 sons are Eagle scouts as fine as individual grandsons. I structure these organizations and other societies that accolade the flag, the Elks, the Mason, The Odd Fellows, the Girl Scouts; you language unit it, I bracket it.

One way to award our ribbon is to fly it in our yards, on our porches, and at our places of company.

It's acceptable enterprise too.

Have you seen the largeness of any of the flags that car dealers fly. They are divine.

Do you fly Old Glory?

I optimism the answer is yes.
