Dont forget Flag Day June 14
 

Its tomorrow, Tuesday June 14th
Flag Day honors the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as our national flag by the Second Continental Congress on June 14, 1777. This new flag symbolizes the new nation, the United States of America.

The Stars and Stripes first flew in a Flag Day celebration in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1861, the first summer of the Civil War. The first national observance of Flag Day came on June 14, 1877, the centennial of the original flag resolution. In the decades that followed, many individuals and organizations pressed to have Flag Day observed regularly.

One individual who waged a life-long crusade for a national Flag day observance was Bernard J. Cigrand. As a teacher in the Stony Hill School near Waubeka, Wisconsin, he kept on his desk mounted in a bottle, a 38-star flag, 10 inches high. At the close of school in 1885, Cigrand observed a first Flag Birth Day with his pupils.

The concept of the PAUSE FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE is for all Americans everywhere to pause for a moment on June 14, Flag Day, at 7:00 p.m. EDT to say simultaneously the thirty-one words of the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. This simple ceremony is recognized by Congress as part of National Flag Day ceremonies. (Public Law 99-54)

No country is perfect, Canada has just as much problems as the rest of us countries. Don't be such an arrogant fuckface, you french faggot.

.........of course we all have faults. But flag day is one we "don't" have. We don't need to have a day to hump our flag to show some sort of false sense of patriotism rolleyes:

should we apoligize for our pride?

I can't wait until its Earth Day again!

I bet they even made the flags in the US back then..................

AND HOW is MR Bush even related to this Junior.. ? I never mentioned that short stacked pile of shit. rolleyes:

Short I don't care for the holiday either, because I don't respect a flag I respect people, however don't put it down. Humans rally behind symbols so let them enjoy the holiday.

If that didn't make any sense it's the robitussin talkin'.

people rallied behind other symbols as well...I am sure they had days to resemble this one as well. Nationalism is all such a day does to a nation.
We all know what nationalism leads to. Canada day = enough for me.

its alright, he is just one of those internet assholes thats a real big man behind his little keyboard. He just wants to rile us up. I have never seen a thread about the US that he hasnt bashed us all the way through. He is an idiot, he has no respect for others. It will come back to haunt him later in life. No sense going crazy over a zero like him, all you would do is this wallbash:

I'm very happy and proud to live in the United States. Happy Flag Day

It's just a day where people hang up flags. I hung a 13 star flag out my window. I didn't look at myself in the mirror afterwards and say "YOURE A PATRIOT. AMERICA FUCKING KICKS ASS". There's no need to be so fucking cynical about such a harmless and well-natured holiday. rolleyes:

i'd fly my flag, but it's so old and worn. i really need to get another one, and the only other flag i have is a CSA flag, and that's not recomended. pretty soon, i am getting my granddad's flag from his coffin, but am never going to fly that.

get one of these for your grandfathers flag, he will rest with the respect he deserves http://www.framesbymail.com/readymades/ ... 0054X.html
