Happy Flag Day

I think Flag Day is a holiday that gets overlooked. I think it's a holiday that needs a little more recognition. This year in honor of Flag Day there was a Relief Society Patriotic Dinner held tonight. And since I'm all old and grown up now I get to attend! Along with yummy food and funny mom stories, we also had the privilege of hearing from a military man. He told us the the story of the Star Spangled Banner and then we sung it after. It was pretty moving to hear that story from someone who has spent his life defending the Flag and our country. I even got goosebumps when we sung...


This is the flag that flew above Fort McHenry that Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner about.
