What is Flag Day? Flag Day is the day where citizens can display their American flag and show how proud they are of their country and the freedom to do this. It is a day of respect for all flags in a sense. The stripes on the flag stand for if I remember correctly: red for the blood that was drawn in defending the flag, white for the souls who gave their lives for the flag and the blue is for the battlefields that were fought on over the years. The stars are for all the states. Flag Day is a day to be remembered not for having picnics but just to remember what the flag means.

Juneteenth
What is Juneteenth? This is a holiday describing the end of slavery in a way for some. There was a time that some plantation owners gave certain freedoms to their slaves. Some saw ways to improve their standard of living and learned what it took to become free and learn to read and write for there were black schools even though they were well hidden, but for some learning gave them a chance to be FREE in a way. To be honest I am not sure about this for I was trying to remember from a program I remember watching a while ago. Juneteenth is kind of controversial depending on circumstances and what you may believe. We all need to feel free and to show understanding of all. The Lord Jesus made us all in his image whether black, white, red or yellow.

The Woman Who Survived Two Atomic Bombs
The harrowing story of Tsutomu Yamaguchi, often known as the man who survived two atomic bombs, is widely known. However, fewer people are familiar with the equally extraordinary tale of a woman who shared a similar fate. Her name was Akiko Takakura, and her survival through two of the most devastating events in human history stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

I totally agree with you. We have a flag in our yard that only comes down when a hurricane is approaching. I get truly upset when I see anyone abuse our flag. My dad and brother are buried in a national cemetery where they're always under the Flag they fought for. Dad was in WWII and my brother was in Nam (didn't die there but still fought).
Thank you for the reminder Mark. I just asked my husband about all of the flags recently. 😊💕❤️
