Stories from Our Flag

for Monday, March 30, 2020
After 2 months of long, daily training with my new employer, I'm back to delivering a more complete daily and weekly Flag Steward app / website experience.
So, greetings to our new online / remote learning students, fellow citizens, and Flag Steward regulars ;)
We've designed a newly formatted "Stories from Our Flag" daily page to better serve all our Flag Stewards (with a wide range of ages, education level, and backgrounds). Starting today, we will try each day to deliver a story (historical moment, lesson, or American virtue) and weekly Pledge of Allegiance Tribute ceremony, on #FlagDayFriday, via our app / website to better engage students and citizens with Our Flag.
Thanks for your patience and consideration during these past 2 months of my limited availability to maintain this service. I look forward to working with you all to continue to improve and better serve you all, fellow Flag Stewards, and our Country.
In God We Trust,
