Reminders from Our Flag
for Tuesday, August 21, 2018​
​[ GO HERE to perform this week's Pre-Pledge Tribute (PPT) - ideally done on #FlagDayFriday to make Pledge of Allegiance more engaging and meaningful. ]


Today's Star-Spangled Inspiration
​... comes from Crissie, the wife of KIA Marine LCpl Andrew Carpenter - today's Interactive American Flag honoree ...
When talking about her just weeks from being born baby, who just lost his warrior daddy, she said:
"he (the baby Landon) isn't here yet, right now he's still in heaven with Andrew."

... what an incredibly stirring image that brings to mind - an unborn son united with his heroic father as they head in different directions in heaven ...

Today's Historical Reminder

Which state flag is this?

On this date, August 21, in 1959, President Eisenhower signed a proclamation admitting Hawaii to the Union.
Was it the 49th or 50th state added?



It was the 50th - officially added along with the 50th star to Our Flag on July 4, 1960.
