Today is Flag Day!

One, possibly both but I only have experience with one, of the elementary schools in our district has a huge Flag Day celebration. The entire school participates with the younger classes doing a march, or such, that is age-appropriate, while the older classes have fewer kids in them as most are in band, chorus or orchestra. All of these groups perform.

The population of the school just about doubles with all the relatives that come to watch and to celebrate our flag. In the past recent years, there were members of our military who had recently returned home and members of the local VFW present.

Regardless of what else you do today, take a good look at a flag! Realize what it symbolizes and how much we have to be thankful for.
