Only one state celebrates flag day as a state holiday (Pennsylvania).
Today I offer an unofficial look at the American Flag - historically, humorously, "Rule 5-ishly", and with great reverence. I hope you enjoy, and at the same time stop to remember, what this piece of fabric represents - indeed the fabric of our country.
