​Reminders from Our Flag
for September 2, 2018
V-J DAY IN USA


Today's Star-Spangled Inspiration
... a couple quotes from Senator John McCain III in remembrance of his life ...
"I fell in love with my country when I was a prisoner in someone else's."
and
"In the real world, as lived and experienced by real people, the demand for human rights and dignity, the longing for liberty and justice and opportunity, the hatred of oppression and corruption and cruelty is reality."

Today's Flag Status  ​
Across the USA, Our Flag flies at HALF-STAFF to honor the life of Senator John McCain III UNTIL SUNSET TODAY - the day of his burial at the US Naval Academy.
