Flag Day Trivia!

Did You Know:

• In the early days of the Republic, a stripe was also added to the Flag when a new State was admitted to the Union? The practice was discontinued when the number of States was too high.
• The Flag would be immediately changed when a new State was admitted? This practice was discontinued when admissions took a sharp rise. The new policy is to update the Flag on July 4th of the following year.
• A high school student created the arrangement of the stars on the 50-Star Flag for a class project? He was given a “B-“.
• The Flag that inspired “The Star Spangled Banner” had 15 stars and 15 stripes?
• As of July 4th, 2007, the 50-Star Flag is the longest used flag? The second longest used flag is the 48-Star Flag.

Found this on Facebook.

Trying to find this person. This dog tag was found in Vietnam 2 years ago by an Australian teacher. His name is not on the wall. Pass it around till he is found.

Today we remember President Ronald Wilson Reagan, who died today in 2004. I leave you with Lady Margaret Thatcher’s eulogy to him. May they both rest in peace.

Of course the TSA couldn’t understand. They never understand. They have no clue how to do their job, nor do they comprehend basic social skills or (un)common sense.

Today, the Obama Administration would label this man as a domestic terrorist.

Gender studies degree? Gimme a break.

priceless H Ford face! omg

And when you say “valid”….. you mean “least likely to be desired by any employer on the face of the earth”, right?
Or perhaps you mean “best way to get passed over when job hunting for someone with one of those silly ‘business’ or ‘engineering’ degrees”?

He’s one of those kids who is like “I totally support my socialist government!  I’m so glad I don’t have to work for anything!”

HAHAAA, HAVE FUN IN TEXAS ANDREW.

I wouldn’t rag on family, but this is a kid who refused a job because “they asked me to cut my hair, and my hair is part of who I am!!!”

wooooow he’s in for a rude awakening. 

That schmuck is going to have a fit when his fantasy shatters all around him.

FALSE.

An impact from a massive asteroid larger than the one that killed the dinosaurs would vaporize all life on the planet’s surface in under an hour.

Last time I checked, pollution is not capable of having that major of an impact on the planet.

Liberals say the Catholic Church is greedy and intolerant. This man did the most selfless thing anyone could do: he laid down his life for a complete stranger.

I hope this man has been or will be Canonized as a Saint.

Amen!
