From USFlag.org:

...On June 14, 1889, George Balch, a kindergarten teacher in New York City, planned appropriate ceremonies for the children of his school, and his idea of observing Flag Day was later adopted by the State Board of Education of New York. On June 14, 1891, the Betsy Ross House in Philadelphia held a Flag Day celebration, and on June 14 of the following year, the New York Society of the Sons of the Revolution, celebrated Flag Day. ...


Are you flying your flag today?

Gravatar Image1 - 14 June is also a special day in my life as well. My wife and I call this day my "Birthaversary" - why? Because It falls exactly between my birthday (13 June) and our anniversary (15 June).

This last Birthaversary was 41:20 for me (age:anniversary).

Later!
