Dear Residents, Family and Friends of GlenbrookeThis month we celebrate Flag Day and Father’s Day. I hope you’ll wear red, white and blue and join us for an All-American Father’s Day Luncheon on Sunday, June 20. Chef John will have a hearty menu to offer!

Thank you to all our fathers for the love and support you provided to your families over the years. We salute you as well as our veterans and look forward to seeing you on Father’s Day!

It’s a pleasure to serve you!

Celebrating Flag Day ... Facts About Old GloryBernard Cigrand, a small-town Wisconsin teacher, originated the idea for an annual Flag Day, to be celebrated across the country every June 14, in 1885. That year, he led his school in the first formal observance of the holiday. Cigrand, who later changed careers and practiced dentistry in Illinois, continued to promote his concept and advocate respect for the flag throughout his life.

It is widely believed that Betsy Ross, who assisted the Revolutionary War effort by repairing uniforms and sewing tents, made and helped design the first American flag. However, there is no historical evidence that she contributed to Old Glory’s creation. It was not until her grandson, William Canby, held an 1870 press conference to recount the story that the American public learned of her possible role.

In the 1950s, when it seemed certain that Alaska would be admitted to the Union, designers began retooling the American flag to add a 49th star to the existing 48. Meanwhile, a 17-year-old Ohio student named Bob Heft borrowed his mother’s sewing machine, disassembled his family’s 48-star flag and stitched on 50 stars in a proportional pattern. He handed in his creation to his history teacher for a class project, explaining that he expected Hawaii would soon achieve statehood as well.

Heft also sent the flag to his congressman, Walter Moeller, who presented it to President Eisenhower after both new states joined the Union. Eisenhower selected Heft’s design and on July 4, 1960, the President and the high school student stood together as the 50-star flag was raised for the first time. Heft’s teacher promptly changed his grade from a B- to an A.

Unlike setting an intact flag on fire, flying one upside-down is not always intended as an act of protest. According to the Flag Code, it can also be an official distress signal.

The Flag Code stipulates that the Stars and Stripes should not be used as apparel, bedding or drapery.

The practice of draping coffins in the American flag is not reserved for military veterans and government officials. On the contrary, any burial may incorporate this tradition.

Etiquette calls for American flags to be illuminated by sunlight or another light source while on display.

“Silent, Strong Dad” by Karen K. BoyerHe never looks

for praises.He’s never one

to boast.He just goes on

quietly workingFor those he loves

the most.His dreams are

seldom spoken.His wants are

very few,And most of the

time his worriesWill go

unspoken, too.He’s there ... a firm foundationThrough all our storms of life,A sturdy hand to hold ontoIn times of stress and strife.A true friend we can turn toWhen times are good or bad.One of our greatest blessings,The man that we call dad.
