HAPPY FLAG DAY !!
It wasn't until 1916 that President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed June 14 to be Flag Day.
The American flag has inspired many folks to use its image in multiple ways. Some are awe-inspiring and some are, well, stupid.
But to each his own....
Here is a picture of the world's largest American flag. It is 505' x 255' in dimension. It takes 500 people to unfurl it.
Here is a picture of the world's smallest American flag. All 50 stars and all 13 stripes are there, and it is smaller than a human hair. The Guinness Book of World Records won't accept it because they don't have a method of actually seeing the flag, as you can clearly see.
We have the unbelievable image of our flag on the moon, or in the desert in Arizona as some skeptics choose to believe.
God Bless America.
Happy Flag Day! I enjoyed the pics, like you I don't know what to say about this last one :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Flag day... I wish we were as patriotic over here in England... Mind you more people are making and producing the Union Jack so perhaps these tough times are bringing the pride out in us...
ReplyDeleteThe cat is .... well .... just wrong! lol ;D

Whata a neat post about our flag. Do you think the cat actually sat still for the painting? I like the picture of the real flag. We flew ours yesterday. Noticed that not many neighbors had one out.
ReplyDeleteI loved that post! Thank you Elenka because I didn't even know yesterday was flag day.

ReplyDeleteI live in Arizona and I've been wondering why these strange men have been walking around in astronaut suits. Thanks so much for clearing that up!
