Description

History of Our Great FlagThe Flag of the United States of America is one of the oldest of the national standards of the world; older than the Union Jack of Great Britain or the Tricolor of France. The thirteen stripes represent each of the original thirteen colonies. Each star represents a state in the union. Our Great Flag now has Fifty stars representing our current states. There are three different colors that are represented in the flag: Red, for the blood shed creating the new nation; Blue, for the ocean that had to be crossed to reach this great land; White, for the purity of it's government. The flag, when stored, is folded in a triangular shape, to represent the tri-cornered hats worn by the settlers at the time of its creation.Flag Flying Holidays January 1st - New Year's Day January 20th - Inauguration Day 3rd Monday in January - Martin Luther King's Birthday February 12th - Lincoln's Birthday 3rd Monday in February - President's Day February 22nd - Washington's Birthday March 22- April 25 - Easter Sunday (April 16, 2017) April 6th - Army Day April 13th - Thomas Jefferson's Birthday May 8th - V-E Day 2nd Sunday in May - Mother's Day 3rd Saturday in May - Armed Forces Day May 22nd - National Maritime Day Last Monday in May - Memorial Day June 14th - Flag Day 3rd Sunday in June - Father's Day July 4th - Independence Day 1st Monday in September - Labor Day September 11th - Patriot Day September 17th - Constitution Day 3rd Friday in September - POW/MIA Recognition Day 2nd Monday in October - Columbus Day 1st Tuesday in November - Election Day November 11th - Veteran's Day 4th Thursday in November - Thanksgiving Day December 7th - Pearl Harbor Day December 25th - Christmas Day
