National Flag Week


This post was first published here in June 2014
and happens to be one of my favorite posts.
Like picking up a good book to read again, 
I find myself reposting this every two years,
Here it is again in honor of National Flag Week.  

Celebrating National Flag Week
Honoring the red, white, and blue.

Patriotic holidays and the colors of our country's flag
have always given me a sense of pride and happiness.
I'm proud to be American!
As an elementary teacher for 30 years,
patriotism was an important component
throughout the year's curriculum.
It wasn't an isolated unit, 
but rather a theme that was woven into
various activities and integrated across the curriculum.
I believe it is important to teach children respect 
for our country's flag and other patriotic symbols and .   .   .
That instilling patriotism at an early 
age enables young children to understand 
the responsibilities of good citizenship.
It makes my heart sing to drive 
through my neighborhood and .   .   .
See families proudly 
display the flag of our country.
It reminds me that the US is a country united, 
one of liberty and justice for all.

THE STARS AND STRIPES

THE RED, WHITE,  AND BLUE

OLD GLORY

LONG MAY SHE WAVE
If you are an American,
pay tribute to our flag this week.

G is for Grand Old Flag





G is for Grand Old Flag

The song, You're a Grand Old Flag

 was written by George M. Cohan as the opening song 

 for his stage musical, George Washington, Jr. in 1906.





"You're a grand old flag





You're a high flying flag





And forever in peace may you wave



You're the emblem of




The land I love.



The home of the free and the brave.




Ev'ry heart beats true



'neath the Red, White, and Blue,




Where there's never a boast or brag.





Should auld acquaintance be forgotten,



Keep your eye on the grand old flag."

 Words by George M. Cohan.
All photos from my files and taken by me at 
various places through the years.  

 Happy 4th of July!
