Flag Day - June 14

Does the name Betsy Ross raise a flag for you? You will recall that she was a seamstress and a flag maker for the Pennsylvania Navy back in the 1700’s. She is brought to mind just now because June 14th is America’s Flag Day — the day set aside for Americans to appreciate the principles for which it stands. Flag Day also brings to mind the historic figure who authored one of the most cherished and patriotic tributes ever to sing the praises of the American Flag — Francis Scott Key.
