Little July 4th Mission
I decided the week before Independence Day that my personal July 4th mission was to spread around the proper American Flag etiquette. I think it was spurred on by a conversation with my Dad... yeah I'm pretty sure that was it! I find it troubling that so many Americans mistreat the flag and don't even realize they are doing it! If they knew, they would be horrified (I hope).
I work in a company of around 150 so the quickest way for me to reach a lot of people is through work. Asked the boss on Monday and he thought it was a great idea. Yay!
I emailed out a condensed version of the Flag Code from the American Legion site. I also provided the link and attached the full document, just in case.
I tell you what, I felt great afterward! I had done something!
Saturday came around and Royal and I went to the parade and ate dinner with my folks. We shot off fireworks and watched the July 4th orchestra/firework shows. The best part was watching the movie 1776 - who knew a musical about our revolution could be so funny?! And educational. Just saying.
Happy 233rd America!
