“The History Of Flag Day”
“The Fourth of July was traditionally celebrated as America's birthday, but the idea of an annual day specifically celebrating the Flag is believed to have first originated in 1885. BJ Cigrand, a schoolteacher, arranged for the pupils in the Fredonia, Wisconsin Public School, District 6, to observe June 14 (the 108th anniversary of the official adoption of The Stars and Stripes) as 'Flag Birthday'. In numerous magazines and newspaper articles and public addresses over the following years, Cigrand continued to enthusiastically advocate the observance of June 14 as 'Flag Birthday', or 'Flag Day'.”Thanks to: http://usflag.org/history/flagday.html and to read more just click on the link.

Days To Display The American Flag

Thanks to: http://www.expressflags.com/display_flag.htm
Some days I wasn’t aware of
are listed, and of course if you are fortunate enough to have a flag pole, each
day you can raise and lower your flag that is unless it is lit at night than I
believe it can be up all of the time.
Flag etiquette is interesting
too and for more info on specific flag info goto this site: http://www.united-states-flag.com/flag-etiquette.html
And so I thought I would
monopolize my learning curve on this holiday's significance especially for the sake of the children.
Although, I too learned quite bit by my investigation and that is one of the many
reasons I enjoy doing this sort of thing so much.
Moving on…
Today I went back to my
independent exercises, I had taken Wednesday off due to my Monday difficulties
and it seemed to help, since I was back to my previous abilities as if nothing had
happened. I did find that while on the arm cycle watching the TV caused my neck
to start to go into pain once again, but I think I caught myself before it got
too bad. And yes, I am still wearing my cervical collar, but I did not wear it
there today… PROGRESS?
Any-who, the pain management
office called today and eventually the PA, physician’s assistant will contact
me before I go in about what actually they can do for me, since I have
previously tried through NMT, OT, PT, TENS, etc. many methods and I have had
violent reactions to heavy narcotics, they nearly killed me when injected in me
and others do not work at all and so it should be an interesting conversation. Their
new patient person informed me that they did in fact now have my neuro’s
referral and they want to take care of this. I suppose it is all like many
things are, a hurry up and wait mode, and since I nixed so much of what they
offer it should be interesting what they come up with… stand by…who knows… what
will be?
On that note of some things
interesting and others frustrating, allow me to be the very first to wish all
of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings
and share all those overages with you know who and we will too!
And next time please be here
or be square, ya hear!
