What is Flag Day?

Flag Day is a celebration of the American flag that occurs each year on June 14,

the anniversary of the flag’s official adoption. 

Why is the American Flag Red, White, and Blue?

The Continental Congress left no record as to why it chose these colors. However, in 1782, the Congress of the Articles of Confederation chose the colors for the

Great Seal of the United States with these meanings:

• white for purity and innocence
• red for valor and hardiness
• blue for vigilance, perseverance, and justice

5 Flag Trivia Questions

Quiz your friends and family with these five flag questions and answers:

1. Is it ever appropriate to fly the flag upside down? Answer: Yes, but only in an emergency. It means “Help Me! It’s an emergency! Call the police! I am in dire trouble and need immediate help!”
2. How many versions of the American flag have been designed? There have been 27 versions of the American Flag. However, the current flag—designed by a high school boy—has lasted the longest as no states have been added since 1959.
3. Can the flag touch the ground? Despite the myths, the flag can touch the ground and still be washed and used. However, if the flag is torn or damaged beyond repair, the tradition is to burn it with dignity. Most U.S. localities offer this service at no fee.
4. How many U.S. flags made it to the Moon? The U.S. flag has been placed on the Moon by an astronaut during six Apollo missions (11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17).
5. Why must Old Glory be folded in such a specific way? The U.S. flag is folded into a small triangle made of 13 folds. Each fold has a special meaning and symbolism. For example, the first fold represents life, while the third honors the veteran who has departed, and the fifth is a tribute to our country.

We LOVE our Pergolas lakeside. Nice place to relax whether coffee in the morning, afternoon enjoyment, evening breeze, or moonlight with your partner.

However, Mother Nature, as you well know, always likes to mess with us!  The issue has always been when Mother Nature kicks up her heels and the wind blows the chairs and even at times the table of  the Pergola deck.

Sooooo, we came up with a plan and here it is:

Matt had a day yesterday

lighting up the docks and beach bar!

Awesome Job Matt!

Thank you!

In the photos the lights look purple, but they are an awesome blue. Credit also goes to Tim and Lynn for sharing with us about these dock lights they have and for us to have these awesome dock lights for our guests. Matt has the lights placed to give the best lighting for guests if needing to go to their boat after dark. Easy to see when coming in from the evening fishing excursion.
