A Beacon of Freedom
Celebrating Flag Day
Whether Resident, staff member, or volunteer, we always enjoy Dan’s wonderful and informative presentations and demonstrations. A patriot through and through, this former Marine shares with us his knowledge of American history and especially the history of the American Flag.
The ceremony began with a beautiful rendition of Taps by Al DeAndrade, and as Dan lowered the flag, we saluted in silence. Afterward, Dan shared American Flag facts and each year we learn so much from him.
In a 1986 proclamation, President Ronald Reagan stated that the colors of our flag signify the qualities of the human spirit we Americans cherish: red for courage and readiness to sacrifice; white for pure intentions and high ideals; and blue for vigilance and justice.
Our Flag is a beacon of freedom and we give thanks to God for the freedoms we enjoy.
