Reminders from Our Flag
for Tuesday, February 5, 2019​

​​​[ GO HERE to preview and/or perform this week's Pre-Pledge Tribute (PPT) - one of my favorite stories from Our Flag ]
Today's (Feb. 5th) Flag Status  ​
Our Flag is at full staff in 48 of 50 states.  
US & State Flags HALF-STAFF by order of Governor: SOUTH CAROLINA and OHIO only
US, State & City Flags HALF-STAFF by order of Mayor: ABILENE, TEXAS only

[ Note: NY and PA, per the US Flag Code, have half-staffs that should have been ended by the Governors more than a week ago.
And, citizens in Monroe County, NY, Los Angeles Unified School District, and Baton Rouge, LA, placed the US Flag to half-staff to honor local fallen public servants ]

Today's Trivia from Our Flag

- In school, I got in to trouble for misbehaving and I loved to argue and became a star of my school's debate team.
-My parents wanted me to become a dentist, but I became lawyer
Picture
​[ 'Who Am I?', as chief counsel for the NAACP = public domain image ]
-I was the chief counsel (lawyer) for the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), where I traveled the country defending African Americans who were fighting against segregation 
And, your last clue.
