Now I don't want to get off on a rant here...

Stars and Stripes: Flying High Since 1777

I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands,
one nation under God indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.

I always loved Flag Day as a kid because it usually signaled the end of school. You get spoiled with patriotism as you are asked to say the pledge every morning. As you grow up and enter the workforce you aren’t confronted with this pledge to your country and to your flag everyday and can easily forget about such acts of love.

It is interesting to see the list of holidays that Google will recognize with their special logos. And it is sad to see that Flag Day isn’t one of them, nor is Memorial Day or Veterans Day. At least you can search government websites with their nifty Uncle Sam tool!
