This Memorial Day we challenge all of us to examine our legacy that will live on in the people who know us and work with us. What is the character quality we want them to remember? Today, as we remember and honor those service-members we have lost, let the weight of the folded flag in their homes sober us to the reality of our own legacies. #memorialday #relationshipsmatter

🇺🇸 Happy Flag Day! 🇺🇸 Today, we celebrate Flag Day, a special day to honor the symbol of our nation's unity and freedom—the American flag. 🌟 Civics Lesson of the Day: Flag Etiquette and Lesser-Known Facts The American flag, also known as "Old Glory," represents the values and history of our country. Here are some lesser-known facts and important etiquette about our flag: Lesser-Known Facts: 1. Flag Code: The United States Flag Code, established in 1923, provides guidelines on how to display and handle the flag. It’s a set of rules to ensure the flag is treated with the respect it deserves. 2. Never at Half-Mast by Mistake: The flag is only flown at half-mast by specific orders, usually by the President or a state governor, to honor and remember the sacrifices of our nation's heroes. 3. No Flag Higher: When displayed with other flags, the American flag should always be at the highest point or to the flag's own right (the observer’s left). 4. Proper Disposal: When a flag is worn and no longer fit for display, it should be retired in a respectful manner, typically by burning in a dignified ceremony. Did You Know? 1. Folding the Flag: There is a specific way to fold the American flag into a triangular shape, which symbolizes the hats worn by colonial soldiers during the American Revolution. 2. The Flag’s Birthplace: The first American flag was commissioned by the Continental Congress and crafted by Betsy Ross, a seamstress in Philadelphia. 3. National Anthem Connection: The Star-Spangled Banner, written by Francis Scott Key, was inspired by the sight of the American flag flying over Fort McHenry after a battle during the War of 1812. Let's come together to honor our flag and reflect on the principles it stands for.

Memorial Day is a solemn tribute to the courageous men and women who sacrificed their lives while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Originally established to honor Civil War soldiers, this day has grown into a national remembrance for all who have died defending our freedoms and values. This Memorial Day comes at a time when our nation witnesses violent protests on college campuses. Amid these reflections, we also confront controversial expressions of freedom, such as the burning of an American flag. This act, while contentious, is protected under the First Amendment as a form of free speech. It prompts us to question and debate: Does burning an American flag entail a demonstration of freedom of speech? How do we balance respect for our national symbols with the right to individual expression? These events challenge us to confront hate and evil and question what American soldiers were sacrificing their lives for. As we commemorate this day, I invite everyone to reflect: What does Memorial Day mean to you? How do we honor and perpetuate the legacy of those who have sacrificed so much?
