Reminders from Our Flag
for Thursday, July 12, 2018​


[ GO HERE to have kids perform this week's Pre-Pledge Tribute any time. 
But, we recommend #FlagDayFriday to perform a (2 minute) Pre-Pledge Tribute - making the Pledge more engaging and meaningful to kids. ]



Today's Star-Spangled Inspiration
... is from the Gold Star mother of SSG Chris Swisher - who is today's Interactive American Flag honoree ...
 "He told me over and over again, 'Mom, remember I love you and remember if anything happens to me, I'm doing what I want to be doing — I'm protecting my family and my home.'"
Today's Flag Status
Our Flag flies at full staff across the USA, except in Iowa and Maryland

In Iowa, the U.S. and state flags fly from sunrise on Thursday, July 12, 2018, to sunset on Friday, July 13, 2018, in honor and remembrance of former Iowa Governor Robert D. Ray. He passed away on Sunday, July 8, 2018, at the age of 89.
In Maryland, the US and State flags are lowered to half-staff until sunset, Saturday, July 14, 2018. This action is in honor of Lieutenant Milton Roach of Spring Grove Hospital Center Police Department, who died in the line of duty on Wednesday, July 4, 2018
