Purple stands for justice; gold for power; and green for faith." Learn more about the history of #MardiGras at https://lnkd.in/eeGgK3QK

🇺🇸 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.

As a former Army medic, reflecting on September 11, 2001, brings back vivid memories of how deeply it shaped not only the military but also the nation as a whole. The attacks marked a turning point, sparking the War on Terror, leading to deployments that forever altered the trajectory of so many lives—military personnel, first responders, and civilians alike. For medics, the aftermath saw a heightened emphasis on combat readiness and trauma care, as we found ourselves deploying to areas where our skills were critical in saving lives under fire. The immediate response to 9/11 was a surge of patriotism and a sense of duty. Many, including myself, were motivated by the need to serve and protect. The warzones we entered in Iraq and Afghanistan had a distinct intensity, with the constant need to provide medical care in challenging and dangerous environments. It also redefined the scope of care, blending battlefield medicine with innovations in trauma care that have since improved survival rates for soldiers and civilians alike. The impact of 9/11 endures, not just in military strategy or geopolitics, but in the personal stories of those who served. For many of us, it was the catalyst for a career that tested our resilience, taught us the value of life, and left a lasting imprint on our view of sacrifice and service. #NeverForget #September11 #ArmyMedicReflections #ServiceAndSacrifice #CombatMedic #Patriotism #WarOnTerror
As we observe the 23rd anniversary of 9/11, we at the Gary Sinise Foundation remember the lives lost and the heroic actions of first responders and brave civilians. We will continue to honor the memory of those who served and sacrificed, ensuring their legacy lives on. Together, we vow to never forget the courage of those who defended our nation and the impact they left behind.

Happy 4th of July! Today, the United States celebrates Independence Day, a significant holiday that commemorates the country's freedom. One of the most iconic symbols associated with this festive occasion is the American flag, also known as the Stars and Stripes or Old Glory. The flag has a rich history deeply rooted in American culture and holds immense significance. The American flag's origins can be traced back to June 14, 1777, when the Second Continental Congress officially adopted its design. The flag consisted of thirteen alternating red and white stripes, representing the original thirteen colonies, along with a blue field adorned with thirteen white stars, symbolizing a new constellation. As the United States expanded over the years, the flag evolved to incorporate additional stars, each representing a new state. Beyond its visual representation, the American flag carries profound symbolism. It serves as a powerful emblem of national unity, identity, and pride and embodies the fundamental principles upon which the nation was built, such as freedom, democracy, and resilience. #4thofjuly #independenceday #americanflag

A great article and worth reading, tying #nationalsecurity into advancing humanity and in particular using #tech tested in a defence context to shift from meeting a society's basic needs into prosperity for a nation.

Strategic Thinker | Veteran | Submariner ... In future wars, interoperability, between services and between nations, will drive success. We should do everything in our power to maximize it.
Valid insight worth keeping in mind at all times.
As then president-elect Lincoln traveled through New York City on February 19, 1861, Walt Whitman observed his “striking appearance…unpretentious dignity,” “supernatural tact,” and “idiomatic Western genius.” Present at the same time, female Pinkerton agent Kate Warne simply described Lincoln as tall, gangly, and tired-looking. This contrast highlights how views of reality are shaped by perspective. Whitman saw a figure of great significance. Warne simply saw the person. As I read about this moment in Erik Larson’s new book “The Demon of Unrest”, the power of perception stuck in my mind. The scene on the train seemed like a microcosm of Lincoln’s continued struggles to communicate his vision. Each time he tried to reassure the southern states in the run up to the Civil War, his words were taken as threats. He said one thing and they heard another. We all struggle with this to one degree or another in our personal and professional lives. I know it keeps coming up in my transition from the Army to civilian life. It’s reassuring that even one of the greatest communicators in American history was no stranger to it.
