"This is the flag that stands for freedom, justice, & equality. It always has.
When we don’t live up to those values, we should speak out.

But we must not make the mistake of tearing down & disrespecting
​the very symbols that unify us, that stand for the best of America."

~Rep Dan Crenshaw

Americans celebrate Flag Day on June 14th to commemorate the adoption of the United States flag on June 14, 1777 -- over 240 years ago! 

Here are some helpful ways to teach our children the meaning of our flag and help them appreciate our unique and precious heritage of liberty. Choose a few activities for your family to enjoy and create happy, meaningful memories together.

* Have a red, white, and blue breakfast with waffles, whipped cream, strawberries and blueberries.

*  Display the flag. Talk about what it represents, and what it means to you.

*  Say the Pledge of Allegiance and discuss what it means.  

*  Learn how Flag Day started and some of its history.

*  Read the 2020 Presidential Flag Day Proclamation.

*  Learn about and sing our national anthem, The Star Spangled Banner. Other fun songs about
   the flag include 
You’re a Grand Old Flag and There are Many Flags.

*  Sing or listen to other patriotic songs. Independence Day is just around the corner, so t's a great
   time to learn and practice songs about America. 


*  Make patriotic crafts, then use them to decorate for the 4th of July.

*  Serve patriotic treats. Or keep it simple with watermelon or root beer floats. 

We hope you have a fun and meaningful celebration!!!
