It’s Flag Day – time to hoist Old Glory aloft! It only takes a moment to slide that flag pole into the holder, or to run the flag up the pole. What better way to remind your kids, your neighbors, and any passersby that the flag stands for freedom, and it’s worth celebrating.

While we’re at it, flag etiquette tells us it is also appropriate to fly the flag on Fathers Day, as well as all other holidays. If you don’t have a flag appropriate for outside display, pick one up at your local store today. Even a paper flag looks great in a window!

And take just a moment to reflect on the blood that’s been spilt over the last two centuries to keep that flag floating on the breeze.
