Flag Day, 2009

Flag Day is on Sunday this year, and I nearly forgot totally about it. Jules Crittenden has comments and links. He starts with a discussion of the Star Spangled Banner, "Captivity in Print". I always wondered how a song which is so awkward to sing was chosen as the National Anthem.

George M. Cohen, You're a Grand Old Flag:

". . . Every heart beats true under Under Red, White and Blue, where there's never a boast or brag. . . ."
