JUST THOUGHTS and SUCH....June 14th

This will be a short blog today.  It’s flag day. I ventured to place my flag out in front this morning; read my flag poem afterwards.  My neighbor’s dog was out and so was their cat (not Tom the usual cat).  The dog barked and the cat just watched me.  Although the dog stopped barking as I read the poem.  Guess he thought I was talking to him.  Besides Flag Day it’s the birthday of the Army.  Today’s piece is about the flag. It would have bern read at Flag Day services if I attended but I’m still keeping distance yet. 

Until next time....it’s also National Bourbon 🥃 Day Enjoy.

  June 14th.... DAILY REFLECTIONS 

   Happy Birthday U.S. Army....Happy Flag 

     Day....two patriotic holidays....or so in my 

            mind

I will post my flag outside in my front yard....

  have a drink to the Army....why not drink to the Army....I proudly served as a WAC 

Of course I’d even toast the Navy on its 

     birthday in October....but before that I’ll 

        have a drink to the Coast Guard in     

         August and Air Force in September

June the fourteenth 

          FLAG DAY 

  Various nick names 

       Old Glory....

           The Stars and Stripes....

                The Star-Spangled Banner....

                    The Red, White and Blue....

All refer to our Nation’s emblem....the FLAG

    Proudly it waves in the breeze

Our flag has gone to war with our 

    servicemen and women

And it flutters upon the graves of those 

     who served with pride and honor

Thirteen stripes....representing the original 

       colonies 

    Fifty stars....one for each state 

The Red....symbolizes valor

   The White....liberty and purity 

      The Blue....justice and loyalty

Today we celebrate our country’s Flag

The symbol of our Nation....the land of the 

      free and home of the brave 

           BOURBON

Today is National Bourbon Day

Three cheers for Jack, Jim and Evan

I heard in heaven there is no beer

But hope there’ll be bourbon in heaven

Williams, Daniels or Mr. Beam

All my bourbons of choice

I prefer Mr. Beam’s Red Stag Bourbon 

Flavored black cheer and rejoice

Here’s to National Bourbon Day 

Mixed, on the rocks or straight 

I’ll have a drink to celebrate 

Red Stag black cherry will be great
