Flag Day, I fear, is the one holiday everyone forgets, and it is perhaps the most important day of all. Where I live in East Texas, we pay $25 a year, and the Kiwanis Club places flags in our yards on the important American holidays. My Flag is standing strong out front for Flag Day. We need to remember in a world too eager to forget.

I display the US and US Army flags on every holiday. I happen to live in an area where Marines, active duty and retired, have congregated, and the US Army flag is for their benefit (and, yes, a lot of good-natured kidding goes on).
