As I left the house this morning I noticed little flags planted in the ground at the edge of all the lawns up and down the street.  My complex, Braewood Heritage Square, sets these little flags out on many of the holidays during the year...I'm thinking "hmm, this isn't the 4th of July, this isn't Veterans day, this isn't Memorial Day, I wonder why the flags are out today"...then it dawned on me...today is a one of those 'minor holidays'....it's Flag Day!  What a beautiful jester this is to to honor our flag in this way.  How sad it is that June 14th means nothing to us anymore.  

On June 14, 1777 the Second Continental Congress adopted the flag of the United States.  On 1916 President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation making June 14 Flag Day.  Flag Day is not a national holday but in some states it is a state holiday...hurrah for those states for making it a holiday!
