Obama says Aug 30th fly your US Flags half-staff for respect for Kennedy http://ping.fm/Z9kp9

Fly the American Flag Half -Staff for Kennedy

No matter what you thought of Senator Kennedy, please lower your American Flags to half-staff on August 30th from Sunrise to sunset. This is out of respect for Kennedy's death.

Following is the official proclamation from President Barack Obama

The President also just issued the Proclamation below:
DEATH OF SENATOR EDWARD M. KENNEDY
- - - - - - -
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
Senator Edward M. Kennedy was not only one of the greatest senators of our time, but one of the most accomplished Americans ever to serve our democracy. Over the past half-century, nearly every major piece of legislation that has advanced the civil rights, health, and economic well-being of the American people bore his name and resulted from his efforts. With his passing, an important chapter in our American story has come to an end.
As a mark of respect for the memory of Senator Edward M. Kennedy, I hereby order, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America, that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset on August 30, 2009. I also direct that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff until sunset on the day of his interment. I further direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same periods at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-sixth day of August, in the year of our Lord two thousand nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-fourth.

BARACK OBAMA

The kids loved Rotary today. Some of the guys in the club said it's evidently clear they take after their mom because they are beautiful.

I'm taking the kids to Rotary today... I figure I'd show them off before they go back to school Monday.

Some days I'd rather light my armpit hairs on fire then sit in an office... I gotta get to the Beach!

Nylon American Flags fly in the slightest breeze because they are extremely lightweight. However they are very strong and are protected by the UV rays with SolarMax.

I've given away over 100 US Flag Lapel Pins... I plan on giving out 1000. Get yours FREE here http://ping.fm/4l5Kv

I just finished up writing not one but two marketing courses i'm teaching in Vegas next week. I'm as excited as a mosquito in a nudist camp!

I was at the beach having a drink with a buddy. Super cold tonight. It was windy up in the crows nest at the beach house

I showed up this morning wearing two US Flag Lapel pins. Our President had his on so I took one off http://ping.fm/PA6fM

American Flag Lapel Pin, President Obama won’t wear one… so I’ll wear two!

President Obama won’t wear one… so I’ll wear two!

It’s not known if President Obama will wear an American Flag Lapel pin to the inauguration. Sources say it’s unlikely, but there will be a very patriotic theme on and off the stage wear he will give his indelible speech. Obama got off to a rough start in his campaign with the whole flag pin debacle. “I decided I won’t wear that pin on my chest,” Obama said in the interview. “Instead, I’m going to try to tell the American people what I believe will make this country great, and hopefully that will be a testament to my patriotism.” While Obama has a valid point, I would argue, though a small portion, displaying the American Flag is part of an outward display of Patriotism. Yes, actions do speak louder than words or symbolic icons. We will get to see what Obama’s actions will be in 2009 and beyond. Until then, I’m going to display my American Flag, and on inauguration day, I will wear two American Flag Lapel pins… just in case Obama won’t wear his.

Is the American Flag Alive?

Is the American Flag Alive?

The next time you drive by that car dealership with the hundred foot flag pole, look up and be sure to notice, the graceful maneuvers of the flag. Some days she looks like a feather blown about with every wind of doctrine. Some days she looks as though she is shadow boxing, ducking and dodging, throwing out violent jabs and uppercuts, popping and kicking with each gust of wind. Millions salute her, pledge allegiance to her; thousands lay to rest under her, while their loved ones cry over her. So, ask yourself what is so special about this dyed nylon rectangle with a bunch of symbolic stars and stripes sewn on it? What is the flag’s purpose? What exactly does it represent? Well, the simple answer is, “too each his own”. For me, SHE represents my entitlement to raise my children in the admonition of the Lord without controversy. For me, she gives me the right to pursue happiness and the privilege to enjoy it once I catch it. For me, she symbolizes a solid foundation in which my family can build a life that’s more than abundant. For me, the flag’s purpose is to build unity in the bond of peace. She also functions as a warning to others who want to steal that peace. For me, the flag represents the finer things of life… Football, Twinkies (with extra yellow #5) and Harley Davidson. As I said earlier, “too each his own” my lifestyle is a little more fast paced then that guy who wrote that patriotic song …baseball, apple pie and Chevrolet.

The federal government already gave us our answer to my original question; Title 4 Section 8(j)… The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.

Is the American Flag alive? Well, for this zealous Patriot… For me, the answer is a definitive YES!
