Flag Day today for Americans and a big birthday too. (Page 1/1) maryjane JUN 14, 12:10 PM It is Flag Day but also, Happy 249th Birthday to the US Army!!! I'll take a short drive and wish them well in the day's festivities. williegoat JUN 14, 01:17 PM Someone planted a few small flags along the trail very early this morning. I thought that was nice. css9450 JUN 17, 08:53 AM I'm a couple days late, because I didn't see this thread until now. I posted this on another forum; I've had this flag in my possession for a bunch of years. I finally found a way to hang it up so I can get a picture of it without it dragging on the ground. It's huge! Apparently it was a gift from my mom's great-grandfather, Dec. 1942, so it is extra cool being genuine WWII vintage. I think it is made of wool.

Tammy's dad was a veteran. We've still got his flag in its case. (My sister has my dad's.) We've had a flag on the front of our house for probably a couple of years now. Ever since we moved and got the dust settled, here. OTOH, I missed the holiday completely.
