Thanks Jim, same to you bud. 
We that celebrate flag day, and the significance of it, are a dying breed.

Jim, thanks!
For me every day is flag day.
Absolutely! Happy Flag Day, everybody.
Indeed. Only weather prohibits us from flying the colors!
Yes indeed Jim, thanks for the reminder.
Happy Flag Day to all!
Jim,
Was the 48 star flag to remind us of our "vintage" hobby?

I'm not usually the kind of guy to do this. I'm actually more the guy to irresponsibly form opinions of those people who do it but I did something today.
This morning I was rocking the baby and watching the morning news. The news anchor mentioned the VFW or local American Legion was going to give a demonstration today on how to properly dispose of an un-serviceable flag. I thought, "very nice, the perfect day to bring attention to flag etiquette". Then I nearly spit out my coffee when he said the flag burning will take place at 2 o'clock. I thought for a minute and promptly emailed the news station, informing them of the difference between a Flag BURNING ceremony and a Flag Retirement Ceremony.
Now, to the news anchors credit, and I do actually like this gentleman, and he emailed me back by the time I arrived at work. I didn't expect to get a reply as I'm sure they have people contact them all the time with criticism and non-sense. He thanked me for pointing it out to him so he could correct it on the other broadcasts that morning he would be discussing it.
