Reminders from Our Flag
for Saturday, November 24, 2018
[ GO HERE to review and/or perform this week's Pre-Pledge Tribute (PPT)
- ideally performed on #FlagDayFriday to make Pledge of Allegiance more engaging and meaningful. ]
Star-Spangled Inspirational Quote:
... stated by the sister of this week's Flag-o-Week, Army Corporal Chris Coffland, about his commitment to our nation's protection ...
“What surprised me was that he (Chris) had never conformed, but he was choosing a life that was all about conforming. What he said was that he lived his life as a free spirit but conformed when necessary. And this (serving his country while fighting for others' freedom) was necessary to him.”
