Flag Day!!!

Why today???

It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777 by resolution of the Second Continental Congress. The Flag Resolution stated "That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation."

Of course we've added a few more stars (and States) since then...

This was taken at sunset, as it flies everyday! And yes, it is lighted at night.

In our little town, they put out the flags (both US and Texas) on important dates like Memorial Day, Flag Day, the 4th, and Veterans Day. Gotta love 'em for that!
