Today is Flag Day! If you have a flag, please fly it today. If you don't have one, at least salute one that you see. I was privileged to see (with my mom and dad) the replica Star Spangled Banner from Fort McHenry. That thing is huge! I understand how they could see it from a good distance now. If you need a good book to explain Flag Day and the importance of our national traditions, check out The Star Spangled Banner by Peter Spier. Today is also Family History Day, so why not create a flag with your family (or have each member of the family make a flag) that shows your history, just like many state and national flags.Take time to celebrate:
6/15 Native American Citizenship Day, Arkansas becomes a state
6/16 Fresh Veggies Day, Cracker Jacks introduced, No Orange Clothes Day
