Strengthening Our Future by Honoring Our Past

Reminders from Our Flag
for Tuesday, January 30, 2018

[Note: Play this patriotic music in the background to enhance the experience]

Across the USA, Our Flag flies at full staff, except in Alaska and Colorado.

In Alaska, Our Flag is at half-staff to honor former Superior Court Judge Roy Madsen. Judge Madsen was the first Alaska Native to become a Superior Court Judge and served from 1975-1990. AK's half-staff will fly through sunset of Thursday, February 1st.
Colorado's half-staff of Our Flag commemorates Adams County Deputy Heath Gumm and will remain so until sunset on Friday, February 2nd, the day of the funeral.

So now, think...
... Who Am I?:

[ =public domain image ]

- I was born in New York, where I later served as Governor
- My wife preferred to be addressed by her middle name, Eleanor
- I served as the 32nd President of the United States helping the USA emerge from the Great Depression and fight through World War II

-My legs were crippled by polio at the age of 39, but that didn't slow me from being one of America's most admired Presidents
Yes, that's right, I am ...
Franklin Delano Roosevelt

We made you think, so now you get to
Laugh:

This past weekend, Mort Walker, one of America's most well-known comic strip authors passed away at age 94.
Take a moment to enjoy his best comic strip - Beetle Bailey. It was first published in 1950 and still runs in newspapers across the USA today.
