Today is FLAG DAY. On this date in 1777 the Continental Congress approved the design of what would become our national flag. I hope you flew your flag with pride today.
And what better way to celebrate Flag Day than to spend the day at the Republican Party of Texas Convention 2008 in Houston, Texas. A very patriotic day.
Click the link below to see a video they showed today at the Convention. It is Red Skelton explaining the meaning of The Pledge of Allegiance. This video was recorded in 1949 when the US only had 48 states.
Here are a couple more pictures taken today at the convention.

The video is from Red’s TV show in 1969. Minor correction. Good to see that he is remembered.
