Reminders from Our Flag

for Thursday, August 1, 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. 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 below. Volunteer site 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

Today's Moment to Remember
On this date, August 1st, in 1779, Francis Scott Key was born near Frederick, Maryland. Francis Scott Key is the author of the "The Star Spangled Banner" - our National Anthem. After watching the British try to bomb and defeat the American soldiers in Fort McHenry during the night of September 13, 1814, Francis Scott Key was inspired to write a poem, which turned in to our National Anthem.
[We'll explain more of this story next month - on the anniversary of the "Defense of Fort McHenry."]
