But I still suspect flag day is less recognized in our nation than groundhog's day.

The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.

Sadly, you are probably correct. See your shadow, make the news. Flags just aren't "newsworthy," I guess.

I still say a holiday based on the adoption of a symbol is pretty much destined to be ignored.Sadly, you are probably correct. See your shadow, make the news. Flags just aren't "newsworthy," I guess.

Right, like Christmas or Hanukkah.. Ooops, sorry, JK by the way. I get what you mean, the symbol is not as important as the thing itself.I still say a holiday based on the adoption of a symbol is pretty much destined to be ignored.Who is John Galt?

Flag day is the celebration of the adoption of a symbol, doesn't that seem a little convoluted?

All those parade watchers and participants in the rain and wind 'round here in LA and SoCal are showing why MLK Jr. Day is quite appreciated.

Yes, but everyone gets the same low, low price. Would that have been true before MLK? Originally Posted by pbarnard
