The Beacon of Honor - Awakens Our Flag ... to Inform and Inspire Citizens ...

TODAY'S FLAG STATUS:

Across the USA, Our Flag flies at full staff, except in Ohio and South Carolina. Ohio's Governor calls for U.S. and state flags to be at half-staff to honor the life and service of Girard Police Officer Justin A. Leo. And, in SC, the half-staff commemorates Trooper Daniel K. Rebman, Jr., South
Carolina Highway Patrol, Troop 3, Post C (Greenville).

TODAY'S REMINDER FROM OUR FLAG:
... Black Tuesday ...

October 29th of 1929 will always be known as "Black Tuesday." On that day, the New York Stock Exchange crashed - ending the Great Bull Market of the 1920s and beginning the Great Depression.

On this date in 1960, just a few months after winning the Olympic Gold Medal in boxing, Cassius Clay (who later takes the name Muhammad Ali) won his first professional fight.
