June 14 is Flag Day

The Red, White, and Blue

Today is Flag Day, when our nation celebrates, what else but the American Flag. This symbol of our country has inspired the National Anthem, along with countless other marches and songs. It is the representation of freedom and liberty, and invokes pride in all true Americans.

The links below provides a history of the American flag, as well as the rules of use, presentation, honor, and disposal of the flag.

Very interesting, at least to me. I used to get upset at people who burned the flag, like foreigners, or domestic individuals who want to burn it in America. I don’t get upset anymore. Those foreigners who want to burn the flag can do so. It just reminds me that they have a tougher life wherever they live and cannot appreciate such things that America represents. And this is not limited to ideological things, but material things as well, like showers, toilets, and automobiles manufactured after 1984.

I think Wang Chi said it best:

Wang: "Here's to the Army and Navy and the battles they have won; here's to America's colors, the colors that never run."

Jack Burton: "May the wings of liberty never lose a feather."
