Happy Flag Day

Today is Flag Day, one of my favorite mid-week holidays of sorts. Many of you know that I often fly one of those window flags on my sticker-laden Subaru Forester. I've always been a big fan of our flag.

Perhaps it stems to my youth, when Field Day at our elementary school was always held on or near Flag Day. Field Day was Fun Day, because it meant we were outside and not in some overheated and stuffy classroom.

Perhaps the true meaning of Flag Day can be captured by this Johnny Cash song called "Ragged Old Flag." Click here to listen and see. Hope you enjoy it.
