​​Reminders from Our Flag
for Wednesday, July 31, 2019
Fellow Flag Stewards,
My family and I will be away on vacation from Wed., July 31, to Sat., August 3, visiting my in-laws in St. Louis, MO.  During this time, I will have connectivity, but I'm going to minimize the daily content posted.  There will only be a daily, inspirational / insightful quote and the 'Half-Staff Alerts' posted.  If you're interested in helping (volunteering for) our nonprofit to post informative and inspiring daily stories from Our Flag, please fill-in the form at the bottom of this page.  Volunteer editors and social media marketers would be a big boost.  Our operation is currently a one-man show building and maintaining the Flag Steward app and website for a measured 25,000+ monthly unique users - as of this past month.  Thanks for your consideration.
-Sean Sweeney, Chief Flag Steward
On this date, July 31, in 1990, Nolan Ryan won his 300th game / pitching decision. This Baseball Hall of Famer pitched for 4 different teams (Mets, Angels, Astros, Rangers) over an incredible 27-year career.
Half-Staff Alerts for July 31
Our Flag is FULL STAFF in 48 of 50 states

GO HERE to review all half-staff details and their honorees - including pictures
And, we're keeping an eye on Ohio and Illinois for Flag orders from their Governor to honor 2 GWOT (Global War on Terror) Fallen Soldiers - KIA on 7/29/2019 in Afghanistan

    Fill-in this form if you're interested in volunteering as a Flag Steward:
       1) Part-time site/app editor
    and/or
       2) Part-time social media marketer
    *We're not looking for experts.  We just want patriotic, passionate Stewards and story-tellers for Our Flag.  If a 50-year old Jarhead Marine with little to no coding know-how can build & maintain this service, I'm sure you can do better ;)

Note:  Your submission / information will not be added to an email blast list.  Your contact info will only, strictly be used for contacting you about this specific Flag Steward opportunity.

Our goal is to empower students to build and program their own hand-inscribed, storytelling iHonor American Flags commemorating our nearly 7,000 GWOT Fallen and gift them to the Fallen's high school alma maters.  The first school will start to enable the first 50 Flags in Colorado next month.
