Today's Moment to Remember
Fellow Flag Stewards:
For the next 4 to 6 weeks, until the beginning or middle of March, I will be focusing my efforts on redesigning and improving Flag Steward's Pre-Pledge Tribute to better serve student-citizens, particularly 5th-8th graders. During this time, I will continue to publish America's most Honorable, Accurate, and Complete Half-Staff alerts. But, there is no daily historical review today nor will there be in the coming weeks.
Thanks for understanding.
In God We Trust,
-Sean Sweeney (Sean@FlagSteward.org)
PS - I'm a one-man nonprofit show whose passion and purpose for Flag Steward has always been to build more informed, inspired, patriotic student-citizens, so I hope you understand this re-prioritization plan ;)
