Across the USA, Our Flag flies at full staff - except in Washington.
In Washington, Our Flags are at half-staff in memory of former Governor John Spellman who passed away at the age of 91 from pneumonia. Flags should remain at half-staff until close of business on Tuesday, February 13, 2018.

The Beacon of Honor - Awakens Our Flag to Inform and Inspire Patriotic Citizens
with today's 'Military Monday' memory honoring Abe Lincoln
On this 'Military Monday', we recall the birthday of the 'Commander-in-Chief' that led America through its most arduous and heartbreaking war - the Civil War. Born on February 12th of 1809, Abe Lincoln directed the Union forces to victory over the Confederate Army in the South. His army kept America together and freed African Americans from slavery.
And, today's quote providing #MondayMotivation ...
Reinforces the reason for the Civil War and Lincoln's success in keeping us as the United States of America in the end.
