WE’RE PROUD TOFLY THE FLAG!


Verse 1There's a feeling comes a-stealing,And it sets my brain a-reeling,When I'm listening to the music of a military band.Any tune like "Yankee Doodle"Simply sets me off my noodle,It's that patriotic something that no

one can understand."Way down south, in the land ofcotton,"Melody untiring,Ain't that inspiring?Hurrah! Hurrah! We'll join the

jubilee!And that's going some, for theYankees, by gum!Red, white and blue, I am for you!Honest, you're a grand old flag!

ChorusYou're a grand old flag,You're a high flying flagAnd forever in peace may you

wave.You're the emblem ofThe land I love.The home of the free and the brave.Ev'ry heart beats true'neath the Red, White and Blue,Where there's never a boast or brag.But should auld acquaintance be forgot,Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

Verse 2I'm no cranky hanky panky,I'm a dead square, honest Yankee,And I'm mighty proud of that old flagThat flies for Uncle Sam.Though I don't believe in raving

Ev'ry time I see it waving,There's a chill runs up my back

that makes me glad I'm what I am.Here's a land with a millionsoldiers,That's if we should need 'em,We'll fight for freedom!Hurrah! Hurrah! For everyYankee tarAnd old G.A.R.Ev'ry stripe, ev'ry star.Red, white and blue,Hats off to youHonest, you're a grand old flag!

ChorusYou're a grand old flag,You're a high flying flag

And forever in peace may you wave.You're the emblem ofThe land I love.The home of the free and the brave.Ev'ry heart beats true'neath the Red, White and Blue,Where there's never a boast or brag.But should auld acquaintance be forgot,Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

Betsy would often tell her children, grandchildren,relatives, and friends of the fateful day when threemembers of a secret committee from the ContinentalCongress came to call upon her. Those representatives,George Washington, Robert Morris, and George Ross,asked her to sew the first flag. This meeting occurred inher home some time late in May 1776. George Wash-ington was then the head of the Continental Army.Robert Morris, an owner of vast amounts of land, wasperhaps the wealthiest citizen in the Colonies. ColonelGeorge Ross was a respected Philadelphian and alsothe uncle of her late husband, John Ross.

Naturally, Betsy Ross already knew George Ross asshe had married his nephew. Furthermore, Betsy wasalso acquainted with the great General Washington.Not only did they both worship at Christ Church inPhiladelphia, but Betsy's pew was next to George andMartha Washington's pew. Her daughter recalled, "Thatshe was previously well acquainted with Washington,and that he had often been in her house in friendly vis-its, as well as on business. That she had embroidered

ruffles for his shirt bosomsand cuffs, and that it waspartly owing to his friend-ship for her that she waschosen to make the flag."

In June 1776, brave Bet-sy was a widow strugglingto run her own upholsterybusiness. Upholsterers incolonial America not only

worked on furniture but did all manner of sewing work,which for some included making flags. According toBetsy, General Washington showed her a rough designof the flag that included a six-pointed star. Betsy, astandout with the scissors, demonstrated how to cut afive-pointed star in a single snip. Impressed, the com-mittee entrusted Betsy with making our first flag.

Until that time, colonies and militias used many dif-ferent flags. Some are famous, such as the "Rat-tlesnake Flag" used by the Continental Navy, with itsvenomous challenge, "Don't Tread on Me."

This is not surprising. Many colonists consideredthemselves loyal subjects of Britain — many colonistscame from Britain, and King George III ruled over thecolonies.

On January 1, 1776, the Continental Army was reor-ganized in accordance with a Congressional resolutionwhich placed American forces under George Washing-ton's control. On that New Year's Day the ContinentalArmy was laying siege to Boston which had been takenover by the British Army. Washington ordered theGrand Union flag hoisted above his base at ProspectHill "in compliment of the United Colonies."

In Boston, on that New Year's Day, the Loyalists(supporters of Britain) had been circulating a recentKing George speech, offering the Continental forcesfavorable terms if they laid down their arms. These Loy-alists were convinced that the King's speech hadimpressed the Continentals into surrendering — as a

sign of the Continentals' "surrender," the Loyalists mis-took the flying of the Grand Union flag over ProspectHill as a show of respect to King George. In fact, how-ever, the Continentals knew nothing of the speech untillater. Washington wrote in a letter dated January 4, "Bythis time, I presume, they begin to think it strange wehave not made a formal surrender of our lines."

Obviously a new flag was needed.

According to Betsy Ross's dates and sequence ofevents, in May the Congressional Committee calledupon her at her shop. She finished the flag either inlate May or early June 1776. In July, the Declaration ofIndependence was read aloud for the first time at Inde-pendence Hall. Amid celebration, bells throughout thecity tolled, heralding the birth of a new nation.

Much suffering and loss of life would result, howev-er, before the United States would completely severties with Britain. Betsy Ross herself lost two husbandsto the Revolutionary War. During the conflict the Britishappropriated her house to lodge soldiers.

Through it all she managed to run her own uphol-stery business (which she continued operating for sev-eral decades after the war) and after the soldiers left,she wove cloth pouches which were used to hold gun-powder for the Continentals.

On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress, seek-ing to promote national pride and unity, adopted thenational flag. "Resolved: that the flag of the UnitedStates be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; thatthe union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, repre-senting a new constellation."

Though not part of the official Flag Code, accordingto military custom, flags should be folded into a trian-gular shape when not in use.

To properly fold the flag:

• Begin by holding it waist-high with another personso that its surface is parallel to the ground.

• Fold the lower half of the stripe section lengthwiseover the field of stars, holding the bottom and topedges securely.

• Fold the flag again lengthwise with the blue fieldon the outside.

• Make a rectangular fold then a triangular fold bybringing the striped corner of the folded edge to meetthe open top edge of the flag, starting the fold fromthe left side over to the right.

• Turn the outer end point inward, parallel to theopen edge, to form a second triangle.

• The triangular folding is continued until the entirelength of the flag is folded in this manner (usually thir-teen triangular folds, as shown at right). On the finalfold, any remnant that does not neatly fold into a trian-gle (or in the case of exactly even folds, the last trian-gle) is tucked into the previous fold.

• When the flag is completely folded, only a triangu-lar blue field of stars should be visible.

The flag is displayed at half-staff (half-mast in navalusage) as a sign of respect or mourning. Nationwide,this action is proclaimed by the president; state-wide orterritory-wide, the proclamation is made by the gover-nor. In addition, there is no prohibition against munici-pal governments, private businesses or citizens flyingthe flag at half-staff as a local sign of respect andmourning.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued the firstproclamation on March 1, 1954, standardizing thedates and time periods for flying the flag at half-stafffrom all federal buildings, grounds, and naval vessels;other congressional resolutions and presidential procla-mations ensued.

To properly fly the flag at half-staff, one should firstbriefly hoist it top of the staff, then lower it to the half-staff position, halfway between the top and bottom ofthe staff. Similarly, when the flag is to be lowered fromhalf-staff, it should be first briefly hoisted to the top ofthe staff. Only state governors can decide to lower theflag to half staff, according to US Code.

Federal guidelines state the flag should be flown athalf-staff at the following dates/times:• May 15: Peace Officers Memorial Day, unless it is

the third Saturday in May, Armed Forces Day, full-staffall day

• Last Monday in May: Memorial Day (until noon)

• July 27: Korean War Veterans Day

• September 11: Patriot Day

• First Sunday in October: Start of Fire PreventionWeek.

• December 7: National Pearl Harbor Remem-brance Day

• For 30 days: Death of a president or former presi-dent

• For 10 days: Death of a vice president, SupremeCourt chief justice/retired chief justice, or speaker ofthe House of Representatives.
