Some people may remember today as "Flag Day". Fewer remember that on this day in 1775 the U.S. Army was officially established. [url]http://www.army.mil/cmh-pg/default.htm[/url] A happy 230th Birthday to it!

I just got back from the VA hospital and they had wall to wall flags, like flowers in a garden......so pretty and it made me so proud.
