  • Flag Day 2020
    The American Suggested Speech Legion MEDIA & COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE P.O. BOX 1055 INDIANAPOLIS, IN 46206- (317) 630-1298 Fax (317) 630-1368 For God and country Flag Day 2020 The American Legion National Headquarters Media & Communications P.O. Box 1055 Indianapolis, IN 46206 (317) 630-1298 [email protected] April 30, 2020 Seventy-five years ago an iconic photograph by Joe Rosenthal helped rally a nation. The flag- raising at Mt. Suribachi showed America’s fighters at their finest. Upon witnessing the placement of the Stars & Stripes prominently flying on Iwo Jima, Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal reportedly told Gen. “Howlin Mad” Smith, “Holland, the raising of the flag on Suribachi means a Marine Corps for the next five hundred years.” But the image wasn’t just about the heroic Marines. It wasn’t about Navy Corpsman John Bradley, who helped raise another flag which was chronicled in an earlier photograph. It was about the symbol that they cherished enough to risk their lives in order to plant atop a hill for all to see. Three of the flag raisers did not survive the battle. 2 Although many American Flags have been tattered and torn in battle, they are often symbols of hope that even in the most trying of times – America will survive. Another memorable flag-raising occurred in the rubble of the World Trade Center shortly after the 9/11 attacks. Three New York City firefighters reminded the nation, and the world, that yes – America had taken a blow – but the United States was not defeated and would indeed rise again.

We are so honored to have you as a volunteer or a partner agency. It is because of you that good things are happening in the Flint Hills region! We are excited to see many of our volunteers returning after receiving the second COVID vaccination. I know it was a trying year with self-isolation and fear of the unknown. We are working on bringing events back to in-person. I was so sad to cancel our volunteer recognition event last year, but we are planning on it for this August! If you are an AmeriCorps Seniors volunteer (all volunteers over the age of 55), you will be Lori Bishop, receiving an invitation sometime in early July. Executive Director We are also working on 9/11 Day of Remembrance events that will take place on September 10th and 11th, as we observe the 20th Anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. If you are a first responder (veteran, police, fire, etc.) please let me know. I would like to utilize our retired first responders in these events as well. We are sad to be saying goodbye to our Volunteer Coordinator, Patty Karr. Patty will be moving back to the Kansas City area.

  • The Origins of Flag Day
    The Origins of Flag Day That the flag of the United States shall be of thirteen stripes of alternate red and white, with a union of thirteen stars of white in a blue field, representing the new constellation. This was the resolution adopted by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1777. The resolution was made following the report of a special committee which had been assigned to suggest the flag’s design. A flag of this design was first carried into battle on September 11, 1777, in the Battle of the Brandywine. The American flag was first saluted by foreign naval vessels on February 14, 1778, when the Ranger, bearing the Stars and Stripes and under the command of Captain Paul Jones, arrived in a French port. The flag first flew over a foreign territory in early 1778 at Nassau, Bahama Islands, where Americans captured a British fort. Observance of the adoption of the flag was not soon in coming, however. Although there are many claims to the first official observance of Flag Day, all but one took place more than an entire century after the flag’s adoption in 1777. The first claim was from a Hartford, Conn., celebration during the first summer of 1861. In the late 1800s, schools all over the United States held Flag Day programs to contribute to the Americanization of immigrant children, and the observance caught on with individual communities. The most recognized claim, however, comes from New York. On June 14, 1889, Professor George Bolch, principal of a free kindergarten for the poor of New York City, had his school hold patriotic ceremonies to observe the anniversary of the Flag Day resolution.

  • Holidays and Observances, 2020
    Holidays and Observances, 2020 For Use By New Jersey Libraries Made by Allison Massey and Jeff Cupo Table of Contents A Note on the Compilation…………………………………………………………………….2 Calendar, Chronological……………….…………………………………………………..…..6 Calendar, By Group…………………………………………………………………………...17 Ancestries……………………………………………………....……………………..17 Religion……………………………………………………………………………….19 Socio-economic……………………………………………………………………….21 Library……………………………………...…………………………………….…...22 Sources………………………………………………………………………………....……..24 1 A Note on the Compilation This listing of holidays and observances is intended to represent New Jersey’s diverse population, yet not have so much information that it’s unwieldy. It needed to be inclusive, yet practical. As such, determinations needed to be made on whose holidays and observances were put on the calendar, and whose were not. With regards to people’s ancestry, groups that made up 0.85% of the New Jersey population (approximately 75,000 people) and higher, according to Census data, were chosen. Ultimately, the cut-off needed to be made somewhere, and while a round 1.0% seemed a good fit at first, there were too many ancestries with slightly less than that. 0.85% was significantly higher than any of the next population percentages, and so it made a satisfactory threshold. There are 20 ancestries with populations above 75,000, and in total they make up 58.6% of the New Jersey population. In terms of New Jersey’s religious landscape, the population is 67% Christian, 18% Unaffiliated (“Nones”), and 12% Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, and Hindu. These six religious affiliations, which add up to 97% of the NJ population, were chosen for the calendar. 2% of the state is made up of other religions and faiths, but good data on those is lacking.
