It's a Military Appreciation Wednesday (just for our @major devil dawg )
With observance of Flag Day this Friday (and the Army's Birthday) we'll do a little history of June 14th
"On June 14, 1777, the United States first adopted the design for the flag, but there are many claims to the first observance of Flag Day.
One of the most recognized was June 14, 1889, when a principal at a free kindergarten for the poor in New York City organized patriotic events to observe the anniversary of the original Flag Day resolution, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The observance caught on with the State Department of Education, which had the day observed in all public schools.
Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Calvin Coolidge issued Flag Day proclamations in 1916 and 1927, respectively, but it wasn't until 1949 that that Flag Day was approved by Congress as national observance. President Harry Truman then signed it into law"
I've got mine flying proudly and I'm ready for Friday!!
Prayers for all those in need and all the GMDN gang too!!
Happy Birthday/Anniversary if you're celebrating today 🎉🎉
Love you guys and gals, MEAN IT.....
Go Dawgs ❤️
