It's Flag Day...Time to Let Old Glory Shine

Every day can be Flag Day, but today is the official day to get your flag out (if you haven't already done so) and show your pride in being an American.

Click here for some history behind Flag Day. Woodrow Wilson...who would have thought it?

And here is an article on Front Page Magazine today, written by Allan Wall, a National Reservist serving in Iraq. Betcha didn't know this:

No one may fly, display, post or place the U.S. flag in, on or over vehicles, command posts, captured equipment, structures, buildings, monuments or any other location in Iraq.

Because:

Displaying the American flag counters the perception that we are liberators and partners for Iraq's future security and stability. Public display of the U.S. flag in Iraq creates false perceptions and unfounded suspicions that U.S. forces intend to permanently occupy Iraq.

It's ridiculous, of course, but there it is. I'm sure we have the PC police to thank for that.

So to honor our flag and honor our troops, let it fly high...today and every day.
