The United States of America’s flag has a proud history. As a symbol of our country, it is to be honored and displayed in specific ways. There are many sites that tell you how to display and handle the flag properly. Flag Day is the day to proudly and correctly display our American Flag.

This is the scene you find as you approach the American Cemetery in Normandy by Omaha Beach. The very tall trees have been manicured to focus your attention to the flag pole, while giving the sense of standing at attention. It sets the mood quite well as you approach the site of so many heroes. Like all posts, you can click on the image for a larger view.
